off and running

ok some of you are already off and running....Don’t worry tho if you aren’t off and running like me. some of have to be lollygaggers! i’m still trying to de-stress from the weekend...and my sister has me in a fury of pouch making as well.

first up we have Allison who has one already done sans strap! check out her progress.
Also Kat has started up and she has offered up these words of advice:

1. Hold the circular needle on the bottom and the
bamboo needle on top to cast on.

2. K4 sts on one dpn, and k4 sts on a second dpn (FROM
BAMBOO NEEDLE) I’m not sure if you need the
specification, but it might make it a bit easier to
understand.

3. Using the “live” stitches created by YOUR
provisional cast on, (SLIDE THE CIRCULAR NEEDLE SO IT
HANGS TO THE RIGHT SIDE AND TURN) K remaining 8 sts on
a third DPN.

4. Next round: *k1, m1, k6, m1, k1*
I found that this dosen’t work out too well the way I
m1. I ended up with holes in my toe! Instead of m1 i
did an inc1, knitting into the front and back of the
2nd stitch in, and 2nd to last stitch.

Also Erin is offering FULL ONLINE PATTERN SUPPORT! so those of you who are beginning knitters are lucky we have her ON this very knit along as well. If you need any help from her just email her and she will get cracking to help you. she is very accomodating. she taught me to crochet in the round and it takes alot of patience to teach me anything.

tonight i will takes pictures of my yarn choices and see if i can finally cast on. tonight is gilmore girls, commander in chief and nip tuck so tonight like tomorrow nite (top model, veronica mars and invasion) are my total sit on the couch nites. i’ll what i can do.
