While I was waiting for my yarn to arrive I started a new knitting project. Amy was wearing a darling cowl while we were Skyping so I wanted to try and make one for my sister. She sent me the pattern and it seemed simple enough and it was. I was probably about half way done when I realized that I messed up and had to rip the whole thing out. I was annoyed. For this type of pattern you have to do something called knitting in the round and they always warn you about making sure you don't twist your yarn. Well, I thought that I had been careful and didn't but it turns out I wasn't careful at all and there were many many twists in it! Eek! So, I ripped the whole thing out and started over.
I was about 1/3 of the way through when I realized that I had dropped a stitch a few rows back so I had to spend an entire evening going back and picking it back up. Well, I am happy to report that there were no more snafu's and that the cowl is done and I think it looks great! :)
