Pixie Purls Knitting & Spinning

« blah blah blah | Main | Proof there was knitting »

Is it monday already?

YaAnn and I are having the same problem with the Jaywalker pattern, but we are both using different yarn. After nearly a dozen cast on's over saturday and sunday I gave up. So then i got about 2 inches on the sock and tried it on and it didn't fit. So now I have to try again with 60 stitches instead of 52. Maybe the colors will pool better.

You see, i thought the colors pooling depending on the place I started in the yarn for the cast-on. I cast on from both ends, from all different places. The color did change some, but it was not stripping like it should have been. So finally after trying everything I realized this morning DUH it was because of the stitch count!! Because when i first cast on 72 it pooled perfectly, but the 72 was huge on me. So now I learned something new, and nearly destroyed a bit of the lorna's lace. It's okay though, I'm going to do it!

I am still very out of it. My eyes arn't working as well as I would like them this morning (the result of not having worn my contacts in 4 days) and I feel well generally woozy out of it. I prolly should go to the doctor, or the dentist maybe. I also need to get the oil changed in the Element.
