Mistakes is what you get when you start to knit faster on this lacey thingy...or you divert your attention for a moment. you can't tell..or can you? but i totally effed up the scarf, but i just forged ahead, and tried to fix the mistakes during the even numbers since those were the easiest to add or decrease stitches.
Sigh. this is what happens when i stop during mid-cycle of the 10 row repeats, i forget which row i'm on...and since i normally stop at 10, and when i pick it back up it is row 1 again...i just started at row 1 again, even though i was on row 3. well at least the forging was done and over with. the pattern is taking shape again...back to normal at the least.
and look at how far i've gotten today. I had to roll another hank of the red, the balls aren't too large so i'm not surprised. Maybe I should have bought more. Well, I'll see how long this scarf is with the rest of the red, and if it's not long enough, I shall set out to the LYS & buy more hopefully the same color red.
My dad came home, and asked me what i was doing. I said i was making a scarf. he asked why was it so bright red. I simply smiled and shrugged. I couldn't explain it either.
I was originally going to mix in the bright teal color as to off set the bright red...but i just simply got too lazy at rolling the hanks into a ball. maybe i will accent the scarf with the teal...that's an idea.
i have really enjoyed making this scarf. It's an easy lacy pattern...the hardest part is the sl1-k2tog-psso, and sl2-k1-p2sso. and even that is easy. wait...i take it back, the hardest part is remembering to YO properly.
maybe i'll be done by tomorrow!!
