Utolsó előtti nap - Next to last day

One more day to go in Vancouver... i don't like closing ceremonies, they are beautiful of course but watching the olympic light go out and being left with the bleak weekdays, so melancholy. Same as getting the decorations off the christmas tree. Or the start of term in school. Apart of seeing everyone back :)
I've just cast off the traveling jitterbug - i have 5 g of yarn left. I've played a bit at the last 10 rows on the stocking stitch section as i wanted to make 12 repeats instead of 11, and needed 173 stitches or 14 more than the pattern stated, but in the same amount of rows - so i had to squeese that plus 14 stitches in somewhere. I made some m1's on all sides - middle of the right and left parts of both sides, so increased 10 stiches every 2 rows instead of six. Of course i've messed up big time. On the rs row, right part had 5 more stitches then needed, while the left part had 3 st's missing. Holy cow. I don't know what went wrong, i was counting and paying attention. Luckily after that i didn't had any major problems, no rip-backs, no skipped rows, not even hand-ache.
All is well if the end is well, this was a quick knit, yarn was enough, i've got to know again a new type of triangular shawl(ette)s and i'm getting more and more insight of their construction - so far without having to buy any expensive books. Time to donate to ravelry :)
