Early Bird

​I’m up at oh god thirty. It’s good practice for next week. After a week off it’s kinda rough getting up early. 


It’s a good thing. I have my knitting with me. I really should be working on the mitten, but I am at the point that something isn’t right. So I am avoiding it.

Perky loves the pattern.

Pattern Blindness?

​I have done this pattern countless times. I’ve had to modify it to add stitches, so it’s a little different. 


I shouldn’t have to rip back because I’ve added an extra column of yarn overs. I need to stop looking at the book, and go with what I know.


can’t see the pattern yet

​I have a ton of projects. Stuff I really should be working on. So what do I do? Start a new project.

WIP Wednesday

​I’ve already started modifying the pattern. Adding two repeats of the skulls. A couple of things I figured out, need to unwind yarn at the end of every row.  It’s no worse than lace knitting.
