Maybe it was the heat. It was such a mild summer that the sudden warm up rattled my brains (although, I had the air conditioning on all day). Or maybe I was just having a stupid day.
I'm knitting two scarves. Lately, I discovered that it's a good idea to have two scarves going at the same time. When one gets so annoying that I want to chuck it through a window, I can put it down and work on the other one. So, yesterday I started with this lacy number...
Things were going great for a while. This scarf is one where I have to constantly count to remember where I am in the pattern. Then I got to the end of one row where I should have had three stitches, and I had four.
I tried counting back to figure out where I had made my error, but I couldn't find it. I had to rip out the whole row and try again. Luckily, the second time it came out. I figured after that, it was time to put down the scarf and work on the other one...
This one doesn't need me to be so careful with the counting. But I got to the end of one of those center diamonds to find that the numbers didn't come out right. I should have had eight stitches, but I had only seven. I had to rip out the whole diamond and start again.
It was time to put away the knitting after that.
At least I finally finished the dinosaur sweater. It took me a few days to get around to photographing it, but here it is...
And this is a back view (so you can see the hood)...
Cute, isn't it? Now I can't wait for December. Hopefully, the weather will have cooled off by then.
