I started this no less than seven times. I can read charts but I kept having little hiccups. Then when I thought I had it under control, I’d find another stupid mistake that I couldn’t live with. Wish me luck on this one!
I think I’ll scan the magazine at work and use my Good Reader app to try and follow along better.

Smooth sailing now.
I like how the yarn looks in this pattern vs what I was going to originally do. I still dislike knitting such dark colors, though.

Halfway through ten diamonds. This is easy now that I can see it. It just takes focus and work’s been monopolizing my time.

Body is done. Bind off soon.

Started to pick up stitches, but got bad counts twice. So I ripped out and blocked. I’ll also have to pick up with a cable longer than 40”. So I’ll try again later.
