the short US 6 circular Addi needles are going to be my official PoA scarf needle... due to it being the perfect size to cast on 90 stitches.
At first, I used the circ 8 in bamboo, i casted on like 2 times with it, both times the needle being too long, so I had issues connecting the ends to make it circular. Finally i gave up hope on the 8s and went with the 6s... cuz I realised that the 6 is the shortest that i had, and it fit 90 stitches perfectly. So... i casted on again, and joined the ends, and away we go!!
I purchased the circular needle row counter, so I'm also using that as a stitch marker to mark the place of where it begins and where it ends. It's handy in counting, but more often than no, the row counter will fall off and i'd have to pick it back up and put it back on.
I made sure that my joining wasn't twisted... so. Yay! I'm totally on my way, casting on 90 stitches doing it the cable way sucks... but i don't know how to cast on for circular knitting otherwise. or rather i know how to cast on, but i just don't know how to join the ends.
as for other news... i'm totally thinking of frogging the clapotis, and starting all over again with new yarn... this
wooly pink yarn i got in HK last time. i really don't like how the brown looks... it's totally heart breaking cuz all that work would have been for nothing... i guess this is how the clappy unravels!
