New Pattern
Well I havn't felt like working on my tank, or my scarf (which I totally frogged) so I have a new project (go figure).
Sirdar #2062 SNUGGLY DK, and it only uses 3 balls for a sweater for a 1-2yr old. So that's like 8 bucks for a sweater!
I can't figure out the pattern however. It says;
Row 1: *K2, P2
Row 2: P2, *K2, P2
I dont understand how that makes a rib, it seems like it would all be off and be more of a checker board thing??
The shop swapped out my 15s (I called Crystal Palace, then the store) which was great. I selected clover 3s and 6s for this project and it's the first time i have used clover bamboo, both the yarn and the needles seem more "sticky" then the Crystal Palace needles and the Alpaca Yarn. I am not sure I like it but I think I can get used to it. I messed up the first row and frogged it. Blah. I am not in a good knitting way this week. I screw everything up. I should just give it a break but I WANT TO KNIT! I'll buy Crystal Palace from now on tho..
We went to the trunk show the yarn was sooo nice but I was good and didn't get any of it. I was very tempted. My friend Sarah came with me, we hooked her up with some tools and yarn and tommorow at lunch I am going to teach her to knit! Probably we will just start with a basic cast on... if we can get past that maybe a knit stich!
Gah I wish I could actually knit something I didnt have to frog..
