A Journey of A Thousand Stitches
...begins with just 66 stitches cast on.
Since I am comfortably entrenched on Sleeve Island -- my tent is pitched, my sun chair and umbrella are solidly staked and I have a pitcher of excellent margaritas with me -- I decided that I would just stay here until I had a second sleeve to show for my isolation. After 3 .5 hours of knitting tonight I have just over 4" of sleeve to show for my efforts. 10 rows/inch (I got a little out of hand when I said it was 39 stitches/inch a while back -- it's actually 39 stitches/4 ") is probably not my favorite gauge and doesn't make for spectacularly interesting pictures. But at least I've avoided all the dreadful mistakes except for a little bit of tinking. The second piece of my Eponge adventure is starting on a much better note.
Wow...10 rows to the inch - yikes baby! But it's a great color and will probably feel very delicate once your done. I will send you thoughts of hot surfers to join you out on the island - that will be some good eye candy for you while you plug away. :)
Hey Cabana Boy! Another pitcher of margaritas, cutie. We're parched over here on Sleeve/Never-ending Shawl Island.
