I swatched! Then it all fell apart.
If you follow my photostream, you’ll recognize this picture from a few days ago. Indeed, I did swatch (a first for me!) and, indeed it all did fall apart shortly thereafter. You see, I was working on the contrasting hem trick outlined here (I will admit, the contrasting hem is a big reason why I’ve had a hankering to knit a sweater at all) and the combination of a whole lot of stitches and a provisional cast-on got the better of me. A few times. Seriously, it took me 5 tries to join the beast without twisting the cast-on row. But I got it right, eventually, and I wish I had an in-progress picture to prove it. I’m about 10″ along and it’s going swell. And that contrasting hem? Makes me smile every time I look at it. Thank you for recommending this pattern, it’s turning out to be Just The Thing.
So, I really just popped in to tell you that. And to give you this: the second installment of Awesome Blogs I’m Now Enjoying Thanks to a Whole Lot of Blogroll Surfing, as a wee apology for disappearing for 3 weeks, and an advance apology for checking out for another 10 days (vacation time!). Enjoy!
Have fun on your vacation!
