On the Road Needles Report

WooHoo!!!!  Girls road trip!  Going to Seaside, FL for the weekend with my best running buddies for the Seaside Half Marathon.  We always have a blast!  Rent a cabin, do some great shopping in Destin, run a half marathon and head on home.  Always a good time, and I'm not driving, so I get to knit!!

I decided to use a different mitt pattern for the Madelinetosh.  I like this one much better.  I did make a mistake in the pattern interpretation on the first mitt, and knit too many cable repeats.  The glove was too long, so I was going to just frog a few rows, reload the stitches on my needles and finish.  Well, never do this while the plumber is working at your house!!  I was so mad at them (long story, but they broke more than they fixed).  I couldn't figure out why it was so difficult to frog--just kept picking out stitches one at a time.  Then realized--OMG!!!  I started ripping out the cast on edge, not the cast OFF edge!!!!  Total frog.  I was so ticked.  But the good thing was that it didn't take long to reknit.  I had it figured out.  I actually reknit the pair in less than a week, mostly in the evenings. Finished mitt #2 at knitting last night.  Was cold enough to wear them on the drive to work today.

Excuse the breakfast shot--I was running late this morning.  ;)

Can't wait to start on Boxy using Wollmeise Pure in Mas Jung (I think that is the color--it is gray).
