I am working on making 7" by 9" "squares" (really, they're rectangles) that will be sewn into a blanket later on.
Most of the patterns for these call for 35 stitches, with 1 inch per 5 stitches. I can't hit that with the asked-for needle size. I can usually knock down the stitch count easily without messing up the pattern to solve that problem. However, one of the patterns is a pain to alter stitch count on, so I knocked down needle size.
I have one rectangle going on the asked-for needle size, and I wrote down the tension I am using on it so it's smooth sailing. I have another rectangle going on the knocked-down needle size, and did not write down the tension I was using on it. It's been weeks since I picked up that rectangle. I forget the tension I was using, and might need to do a few experimental rows and rip back.
My progress so far on my cowl. I may switch to the infinity loop (remove the purl band and graft the ends together).
I've been a bit quiet on both the mod duties front and the actual knitting this week due to catching covid. Thought it would at least be a chance for a lot of crafting but it had the gall to make me too ill to knit! Imagine!
Think I've managed about 3 rounds of a sock in the last week, which I will not dignify with a progress pic.
It's ok though I finished enough stuff over the last couple months to last me a while 😄
Booo to being too ill to knit! I hope you recover quickly.
Still on it to finish those damn Christmas presents. I have a sweater waiting to be cast on and I'm so excited, I'd like to throw everything else overboard. But the calendar says no.
Stupid Christmas, sneaking up and surprising us into last-minute crafting every year 😅
