i am determined to get it right!!

it just occured to me that i didn't bring knitting with me on the way to HK to past the time on the train... odd. I could have used the nice distraction that is.

the knitting in the round is taking it's toll on me. casting on too many stitches always gets to me, and making sure it's not twisted is hard.

this will be my third try. I've done the gauge patch... then test one. left too much string for the long tail cast on... it's ok really, but then i didn't make sure it's not twisted, so it twisted... i did like 7 rows or so... before i realised this. had to frog it.

then 2nd try... cast on and work back and forth on stockingnett... hm... somehow i skipped a stitch and then it's not missing a stitch or something... i can't describe it, and i don't know how to fix it... so i'm going to have o frog it again... sigh

it always just takes me forever to start this scarf.

third time's a charm. I think i'm going to do the cable cast on and then just make sure it's not twisted.. i'm determined to knit in the round for this scarf!!
