Now I know I said I need to block and sew up my cardigan, ...but I need something to knit. And instead of going for something in hibernation I started something new.
I read on the Yarn Harlot's blog that she is doing the very boring garter stitch afghan. I went onto Ravelry to look at the pattern and decided it was perfect for using with the Knit Pick Shine Sport that I bought earlier this year.
I asked JB for his input in the colour selection. I do not have the eye that he has. He is so much better at putting colours together. I read online that Shine Sport works best at 3.5 mm. So I've cast on and I've started.
Okay, I have to make a confession. I cast on and sort of did the first block last night. But when I began the second block it didn't work. The new block was like a ruffle. Hmmm, so tonight I reread the instruction. Oh, I'm suppose to knit 36 garter ridges, not 36 rows. So I'm actually suppose to do 72 rows.
And that's where I am right now. I'm on row 46 of 72. Let see if block 2 actually comes together properly.
