Today will be try #3
Yesterday I cast on for Cherie Amour, counted my stitches about 8 times, and began knitting. When I got to the end of the first round, I was missing 3 stitches. Either I mis-counted or I didn't follow the stitch pattern properly.
So I ripped out, somehow making a horrible tangle which had to be cut, and cast on again. This time, I put ring markers every 10 sts to make sure I was counting properly. As I knitted the first round, I moved the markers to every 12 sts - the length of the pattern repeat.
On the second round, I encountered a horrible ugly felted join in my yarn. Ick! Too yucky to knit in. Cut yarn, scrap everything.
By that point, my day was over, and I did not have the time to start again.
Today hopefully I can cast on again and this time it will stick!
