After two cast ons and one small frog of a row last night I have been able to move on to working the upper body of the tank.
It helps when you use the needle sizes in proper order according to the pattern.
My second error.
My first?
I can't even remember anymore.
But now I've gotten far enough into it to feel some progress is happening.
Last night my mum helped me via Skype. I was totally lost at the racerback separation. Thank goodness she got me straightened out. I was going banarnars!
Its hard to put the knitting down at night and go to bed. Once I get into it I just want to plow through!
I think you are doing an AWESOME job, Cindy! You are such an adventurous knitter!...and I'm the same way. I put off going to bed (there's always something good on tv) and then I'm dragging around the next day. (But we could quit any time, right? Yeah...we could quit any time...)
ReplyDeleteOh Cheryl, you make me laugh! We need a knit date night.
DeleteIt's going to be so pretty!!

Why thank you! Thanks for visiting too. I love visitors. :)
DeleteLooking good! I totally understand. When I start I really want to finish something in the one sitting which is not possible most of the time. In my head I am telling myself "just one more row then I'll go to bed".
ReplyDeleteBut the other issue of knitting way past bedtime is that's when mistakes can happen, yet I do so willingly!
DeleteI am so excited to see what this looks like as a longer version! Be sure to model the heck out of it when you're finished!!
ReplyDeleteAnd I feel you on the bedtime dilema... can't... put... it... down...
Yes, I'll have to go 'off' pattern so I hope I can make it work. You'll see photos for sure.
DeleteThanks for coming over to my blog as well!
You're doing great! It's so nice to have help along the way. I still need help a lot with my projects too. That's the fun thing with knitting, you are always learning :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the props Shannon! I'm totally having fun.
Deletehow many times have I said 'just one more row'....! You've chosen a lovely colour and I just love the racer back on the pattern you are kntting
ReplyDeleteThanks for the support.
Delete:)
Now I just need to find a bra to work with that racer back too!
Love this colour!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
Delete:D
Thanks for coming by too.
I love the color too! Personally I think the harder you struggle with the cast-on the better the finished product. I once made a hat that I had to cast on like 7 times, totally worth it because it turned out Ah.maz.ing. I'm sure that's what will happen for you and this top :)
ReplyDeleteI love your reasoning on more cast-ons = more amazing project. And I actually have to agree now that I think on it. I made Big Bad Baby blanket at the beginning of my knitting journey last year and I had to frog that sucker so many times I can't even remember.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your support!
