oops

i forgot to mention.

i started knitting "fetching", fingerless gloves/wristwarmers. i think i started this in may. within a very short time i had made significant progress on one, and then something held me up-- the bindoff, i think. well i stumbled across the project this weekend, and finished the knitting on the left glove.

once i make the other one, i may wear them at work. however, they are black fingerless gloves. will they look punky? too punk for work?

i don't think i care, as long as it contributes to keeping me warm in the a.c.-frozen tundra of my workplace.

i fully plan on wearing my chevron scarf at work as well.

but not at the same time as the gloves. they won't match.

boo

just had my first bad experience with untangling yarn.

yes that is why i am up so late tonight.

note to self

okay, okay, so seeing t's knit post inspired me to take a look at the chevron stripe scarf that has long been dormant. i'm pleased with it in concept, but each time i put it down i forget the pattern, and the reference i have is incorrect. i have to figure it out every time i restart, using google searches and whatnot. this time i had to do some tinking back and re-knitting (had to bust out the crochet hooks for dropped stitches and everything) on top of the google searches and the knitting help website. blah.

so here's a note to myself. and now, may it be documented on my very blog, so that i will always know where to look for the corrected pattern and i don't have to waste as much time getting re-started!

row 1: k1, ssk (that's slipping first as if to knit, then as if to purl, just for consistency's sake)
[k9, sl2 tog k-wise, k1, psso] k9, k2tog, k1.

row 2: k1, *p1, k4, [k1, yo, k1], k4*, p1, k1

i'm sure one can do the centred double decrease however one pleases, but that's the way i've been doing it.

there. it's documented. [sigh of relief]
