Today I took away two stitches from one side, so the curve is between 11 + 9 stitches. That left me with a shorter stem for each leaf. To make the stem actually reach the leaf, I put the leaves vertically closer to each other. In my first attempts, there was only ever one leaf going on at a time. Now the right-hand leaf starts before the left one ends. Not only did this give me that curved vine that I was after, I also got a tighter pattern overall, with less dead space.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I figured it out!
