My Charlize Shawl knitting project is coming along nicely, but I have had my fair share of humbling moments.
It was the perfect travel project and the pattern is very well written.
"So what's so humbling?", you may ask..... the humbling moment comes from the actual simplicity of the pattern and my own confidence or rather over confidence of the rhythm of the stitches. The ace lpattern utilizes yo, k and sk2p. In the long repeats I found that psso sometimes got missed throwing the stitch count off. Disaster could have easily been diverted on the purl back row if by paying attention that inbetween every stitch is a yo.... lesson learned.
I chalk it up to all the talking, laughing and having such a good time on the train ...... translation: not paying attention.
Since I know I have at least one more of these in my future, I'm going to make a note of the purlback yo rule!
