Done with the white spinning fibre

It turns out that the white spinning fibre I was struggling with sheds just as much when it's spun and being knitted as it did when I was trying to spin it.

However, I managed to make a very pretty cowl.




It was originally meant to be a scarf, but half the yarn got used up too quickly. So I started from the other end, making a buttonhole, and knitted until I used the other half of the yarn, then grafted them together.

Handwarmers

I've been on a roll for the past few days - or else maybe I've just been working on very small projects.

The most recent small project is a pair of handwarmers for the "Obscuriousity" knit-along on Ravelry.



Notice the difference in length?

I didn't actually write down the number of rows on the cuff the first time, so when it came time to do the second, I looked at the row-counter I found in my pocket, which turned out not to have the right number of rows marked. (I think it was for that project, but who knows?)

I'm trying to decide whether the difference is enough to matter, and whether I can reasonably pick up stitches along the bottom and knit the other way.



They're made from Rowan Tapestry, which turns out to be very itchy. I'm trying to get used to them.

My lace shawl

Today, as I've done every day since I got my cast off last Friday, I sat down to knit a row on my lace shawl:



I carefully wrote down the instructions for the next row in my notebook, and started knitting.

I ended up a few stitches short at the end. I'm starting the edging, so I'd removed all the stitch markers as they would have needed to be moved at the end.

Then I looked at the chart, and realized that I had been knitting the wrong row. Not even the whole wrong row - I copied down the right stitches for the edges, just not the repeating bit in the middle.



This comes not one week after I started at the top of the chart instead of at the bottom of the chart and had to rip back to my last lifeline.


I've shoved it in the project bag for now. I'll tink the last row when I'm feeling up to it, probably on Saturday.
