Apparently I'm not very good at counting. Once again, I had trouble with an eyelet row. This time I only spent three hours figuring out what I'd done wrong, and the problem was actually with the row before the eyelets. I had an accidental yarn over. I counted the stitches in that row at least three times, so I'm not sure how I missed that extra stitch.
Anyway, I decided that I would put a stitch marker every ten stitches to keep myself on track, and so far it's working.
Knitting and unknitting is mentally exhausting, so I gave myself a break with tatting. This is size 20 Lizbeth #112, Carousel. The shuttle is another beauty from Grizzly Mountain Arts.
We had snow today, something I wasn't expecting. I managed to get my steps in by walking around the house every time I was on the phone. It took until 7 tonight, but I did get my steps in!
Great projects!! :)
ReplyDeleteI have to resort to using lots and lots of stitch markers when I knit. I also end up counting my stitches between the markers out loud (well, mumbling them, not LOUD out loud) to keep myself straight. Your project is looking very nice.

I do so love your knitting too and I don't have that kind of patience
ReplyDeleteI use stitch markers after every repeat till I get the pattern memorized. And also while casting on, to keep track. And yet, I keep counting back to make doubly/triply sure (and am still known to make a mistake) 😉😄😆
ReplyDeleteI use stitch markers, counting pins, extra bits of thread tied in, oh....and don't forget picot gauges! I figure a good tool is worth using. My first tool to use: my brain. Sometimes that tool is not enough!
ReplyDeleteGot it, now I understand why the stitch markers, great idea
