6-12-08 They are both blocking now. Pictures soon.

4-27-08 The 4 row repeat is easy to memorize (especially since rows 2 and 4 are P2, K4), and I love the way it looks, but I have been running into two issues. First, when I pick them up, I’m not really confident about which row I am working on. I usually have to go undo a set of stitches to check. Second, the design stitch that this pattern uses is sometimes hard to do. I didn’t think I was a tight knitter because I am always going down needle sizes to get gauge, but some of those K2togs are getting the best of me. The ones at the end of the DPN are the worst.
