The Partner contracted some sort of head cold from work and brought it home especially for me! In between blowing my nose and hacking up phlegm, I’m currently attempting my third go at the second square of the blanket I’m knitting:
The first time I repeated a row I shouldn’t have and was not too far along so I just ripped out and started again. Second time I screwed up the k2tog but leave on needle and knit another stitch thing and ended up with a huge hole and for the life of me I just could not get it corrected. I ripped back to my screw up and tried to go from there, but it wasn’t happening. I’ll be glad when I finish this square and can move on to a new stitch pattern because I’m getting a bit tired of ribbing. Part of the problem is that I’m a thrower not a picker, but attempting to learn the faster way (which also feels more comfortable for me) during a project isn’t a great idea.
Here’s a visual of what I’m talking about:
I really need to practice continental knitting.
On to the music!
