At the end of day 1

Well as you can see I was able to cast on and I finished my first needle knit swatch.

January 073.jpg

Yarn: Lion Brand Jaime Classic (discontinued)

Pattern: Perforated Ribbing (Nov 15)365 Knitting Stitches A Year

Adjustments: none in the pattern.. I did frame it with garter stitch.

I am pretty pleased with how the swatch turned out. I have a good understanding of how the stitch pattern works and am confident I will be able to duplicate it on the knitting loom.

I cast on to start the loomed swatch on my small gauge knitting board and that is when the pain hit. I kept whacking my finger on the back row of pegs.

So I gave up. That’s ok. I need to find my small gauge sock loom. It will be perfect and I will stop whacking my finger!

So off to search. Who knows where my little helpers stashed it.

Oh my mystery package is on the Fed Ex truck out for delivery! I knew it wouldn’t take till Tues. to get to me!

Now if I can just stay focused and not get all distracted with the contents.. and start playing with what ever they send.. hehe

And this little tidbit was on Vicke Howell’s blog this morning. Seems the trademark fight has made it’s way across the pond!
