Another New Bag

I'm trying to make enough market bags, so I won't have to use the store's plastic bags. I'm about two or three short at this point.

I've started another one, this one is mint green. The pattern used is called English Lace. It's work every row. I'm at the point where I stop and count after each half of the row. It's really easy to make a mistake. Nothing like frogging back four rows. I learned my lesson.

Hope you're day is pleasant.

Down the street on a rainy Saturday.



My finished market bag. I like this one. I'm trying to picture this stitch pattern in a blues and white. Bet it would like look an ocean wave, or I'd hope it did.

Another!

When we left off, I was talking about the issue of not getting the right stitch count on row two? Figured it out, it was an extra three stitches on the first row. Once that was figured out, I made it to the sixteen row. I stopped and counted. How can I be 29 on one side and 31 on the other. o.O

Its for a shopping bag, so it won't matter it's not right. I fudged the numbers and it's back to 31 on both sides.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm fudging my way through life. A bit off here. A bit off there. Then I've got to figure out how to add another two stitches.

Repeat

I feel like I've done this before. Think I do the math right, (9*3 = 27) only to realize I'm wrong. It's really: (9*3)+4 which makes it 31. Guess which one I cast on for: yip, 27. Ripping back to nothing and starting again. Plus the pattern I picked Mermaid Mesh counts aren't working. I've gotta double check and see if I charted it out wrong. It has something to do with row 2. I'll ask for help on Ravelry, if I can't make it work.

So the math is 62+44 = 108. I think that's right.
