When we last spoke, I was contemplating knitting for a camping trip. Due to unforeseen circumstances (Hubby got a big boo-boo--one that required a trip to the hospital), no camping this weekend.
So I cast on a new project. I have a ball and a half of Rowan Tapestry left over from my Christmas stocking with no plans. I also have a bunch of little canvas bags from Michael's. I buy them at Halloween because they have black(!) and they only cost $1. They are very useful for carry little knitting projects or lunch. But they are very plain. I was 'organizing' my stash and happened to see one of the Tapestry balls snuggling against a bag and I knew they wanted to be together.
So... I swatched, cast on an appropriate number and off I went to knit an outside to my little bag. You know that direction? The one that says, "Join, being careful not to twist"? Yeah. It got me. After knitting 4 or 5 inches, I realized it was twisted. It looked a little big too. I yanked it off the needles, compared it against the bag (which will become lining) and cried. Just a little. It was almost 6 inches to big.
I ripped it out and started over. And to appease the knitting gods, I finished one Oatmeal Knuck and cast on the second. Maybe something will work out now.
