Yes, yes, I am. Mathematically challenged.
I woke up this morning and instantly knew what I had done wrong with my decrease row. Silly girl....but now my little hat is done, complete with six little I-cord sprouts on top. And I have enough yarn to do a couple of headbands as well!
My hands are feeling so much better! Yay~! I seriously get depressed when I can't knit. I have been all blah feeling for the last few days. Today I picked up the needles and started knitting and wow! I am feeling energized and happy again. I think the sunshine and 40+ degree temps had something to do with that too.
My resolve to buy no new yarn until my stash is busted and projects completed was wavering as I looked at the new Lion Yarn catalog. Recycled cotton yarn was calling my name! All heathered tones and very soft looking. Love! I held firm and put the catalog out of sight.
I think tomorrow I will cast on a vest for my aunt. She gave me the yarn about two years ago. She was planning to knit a jacket; the ladies at the shop she bought the yarn told her it would substitute just fine for Manos Uraguay. Not even close. I found a vest pattern that she loves that will suit the yarn well. I will have enough to make matching hand warmers for her too!
As Always~Happy Knitting!
