Notes

10-26-2015

Used the German twisted cast on, and used Liat Gat’s two at a time cast on method, link here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCwfbiZd7dI

5 rows of K1P1 ribbing at cuff.

Made the largest size on the pattern (co 60 sts each), but it feels snug on my arms… probably going to be too small for my SO… Nope, they fit him snuggly! :D

I’m never going to make this pattern again, ever.

The backwards loop cast on for all of the finger holes led to the most frustration I’ve had to deal with in a pattern in a very long time, if not ever.

Laddering. So much laddering and having to treat it like a dropped stitch and pick up ones that weren’t even supposed to be there and then decrease to get rid of them… Now there are tiny little baggy pooches in the bases of the fingers… UGH.

If my SO didn’t love the colors so much and if I hadn’t gotten 90% done with this before realizing that the last 5% would be the worst shit ever, I would have frogged and ran!
