I’m knitting a new pair of forearm warmers.
By the time I post this I’m sure I’ll be done with them, and probably wearing them. Here’s what the first one looks like.
The first one took me about 2 days, or more like 4-5 hours, mostly because I kept loosing how many rows I’d knitted. Duh!!!
So, as I was nearing the end of the cake of yarn I had, I decided to try counting the rows. As I was knitting, I wrote the pattern on a piece of paper, so I kind of had an idea where I was. I wanted to be as sure as possible so I could duplicate the other warmer.
The end with the different stitches is the end that is closest to my fingers. It was just to lightened things up, design wise.
I stretched the warmer over my quart water jar, a Ball jar to be specific, so I could see through the stitches in order to count the rows more easily.
Yes, I have several row counters, but when knitting in the round, I’ve no place to put it except on my tray, having to pick it up at the end of each round, and change the number. With only 36 stitches in the round, I knit fast enough that I kept forgetting.
Anyway, it worked. As you can see, 1 done, and 1 to go.
Until next time, stay safe.
