I knew it was going to be close, but I really thought I might just be able to eek out the hat I’m making (for me!) out of the same wool cashmere blend I used to make the upside-down daisy hat for Arden. No such luck. Right when I was about to begin the decrease, I’m left with this pathetic tail. No luck at my local yarn shops, so I’ve ordered one skein of this discontinued color. Maybe I can scrape out a scarflette from the rest after I finish the last six or seven rounds, or would that be tempting fate? One happy result of visiting the fabo yarn shop less than a mile from my house was they were able to quickly diagnose the reason for my wonky knitting. Looks like someone didn’t knit for a year and started knitting into the back of the stitch. And I was bringing the yarn around in the wrong direction for purl stitches. Wow! Not exactly like riding a bike, now is it? The hard part is that I need to finish this project “wrong” before I re-teach myself to knit “right” again.
