KNITTING ALONG

« Getting Started and a Cast-on Question | Main | Needle size »

Am I the first to frog and start over?

Like another person said, I should know better than to knit this at night while watching Law and Order: SVU. I dropped a few stitches and said, screw it, I'm only on the 6th row anyway, lol.

Another blog I read was discussing reversing the decreases on the wrong side, and I had not been doing that. The blog mentioned that k2tog on the wrong side in garter with the cobweb probably wouldn't make a difference, but I did decide that with this second go, I would k2tog tbl on the wrong side.

The other change I made was to put the markers in. I didn't start out using the markers, but while the lace is easy to understand (at least as far as I got), it is way easier to keep track of things (especially since I watch TV while doing this) with the markers.

No pictures yet, since I'm only done with row 2, again.

Laurel -- I should probably work on this during the day

I haven't frogged yet (of course I'm only on row 9), but as I was knitting last night I realized this wasn't a project I was going to be able to give only half my attention to. Usually I like to knit while I read online, but not for this project! Time to load up a few books on cd, I think.

If the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch... Hansse
