Notes

95.8g of yarn @ start.

I started this and mostly finished it in the first day. Then I couldn’t remember where I stopped and wasn’t happy with my recovery efforts. I also found it very difficult to pick up my provisional cast on. I suspected that my efforts to pick up the the correct number of stitches were part of my dissatisfaction. I frogged it then did a provisional cast on to a spare cable.
Let’s try this again…

Sat down and did this today. Used the code in my book and downloaded the PDF. That made it much easier to follow along since my GoodReader app allows me to make a line and follow along.

Fits well. Now I’m excited to do the second one. 68.3g remaining.

Roar. Was having trouble deciphering all of the errata. I thought I was ok but now I have two left mitts. rage dumb mistake.
