I have started a new knitting project
today. Bought a nice skein from Posh Yarn a couple of weeks ago but
was a bit disappointed by the colour – the result of that „all
computer screens are different” thing. It is a nice colour, of
course, just different from what I expected. Initially I choose a
different pattern: Madli's shawl but without the nupps, and even cast
on for that, but then changed my mind and did a tweak on the pattern,
putting in cables. Drew up the chart this afternoon and cast on,
originally for 3 cable columns which meant 88 stitches. Got till the
sixth row on the first repeat when realized that it will be too wide,
so I probably wouldn't have enough yarn for a proper length. Ripped
back and started again with 2 columns and 68 stitches. I'm still not
sure about it since the cables look a bit weird, so might have to
spend tomorrow's knitting time with ripping back and doing it again.
And again.
Or maybe I will get fed up with that
and will finally get over with sewing up that blanket.
