You know,...Hey, Lynn,<BR/>Are you using stitch markers? You know, the little plastic rings that slip over the needle? If you put one between every pattern repeat, or every other one if they are small, it can really help keep track of how many stitches you have. I do this every 10 or 20 stitches even in stockinette when making sweaters (yeah, I make them..

It's in my basket. It was a kit- the yarn was supposed to be rose, it's wine. The pattern has a rib down the middle back and the pattern angles off from there.

Probably because that's the only thing I know how to knit... Since I can't resist buying yarn, scarves it is!<BR/><BR/>I did buy some beautiful sock yarns and a set of sock needles.

I actually own a shawl kit from Anne Hanson--pattern, yarn, the whole nine yards--which I fear is doomed to perpetual obscurity in the stash closet.<BR/><BR/>Not to fear. There's plenty of sweater yarn in there, too.Yarnhoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06625926254864861603noreply@blogger.com
