I'm doing a pre Olympic trial
of the Orchid pi shawl.
Here's what I've learned so far...
A) The row counter (ka-CHING) is My Friend!
B) Markers are an absolute MUST
and
C) I am a glutton for punishment.
D) Cashsoft is a LOVELY, lovely yarn to work with.....
The waste yarn is where I shall be adding SLEEVES
as per the pattern in *Ponchos and Wraps* a Knitter's Dozen.
With modifications, as per my usual,
NATCH.
I always tell my beginning students to read through THE WHOLE PATTERN
before you begin the Actual Knitting.
Ahem.
Had I DONE that, I would have noticed that the charts are SPELLED out on the inside
of the pattern insert, on bright WHITE paper.
All the easier for me to read with my temporary magnifying (um, READING) glasses!
I'm going back to the eye doctor on Friday for another Corneal Topography.
Three requests for the original documentation from the surgery....
NADA.
Blue. DEVILS. Indeed.
