It has been a trying couple of days. Between crazy kids and trying to fix a couple of mistakes it was a very long day. I realized that I had messed up an increase which was quite noticeable. Weird for me I'm not one to go back a correctly unless its really bad. It was about 7 rows down and when you are dealing with over 200 stitches per row I was not ripping those rows out. Also I was 13 inches in on a 14 inch section. So I tinked about 9 or 10 stitches for those 7 rows and knit them back up and then realized I had a twisted stitch so back down I when and finally got it fixed. Knitted along and then had to many stitches in another section. so down I when again and finally got that fixed. It would be so bad but this project is rather interesting but I am about to run out of yarn. I have almost finished the skirt and done both sleeves and have less than half a skein left to do the bodice, neck and bottom bands. It would be so bad if I hadn't gotten the kit almost 2 years ago. If I had knitted it up when I received it it would have been fine as I would have be doing the size 2 instead of the size 4. so I'm going to order another skein in the same colour and just do the skirt and sleeves in one dye lot and the bodice in the other.
I'm to tired to go looking for pictures tonight. Maybe tomorrow.
I did pick up another ball of cotton; like I really needed another but I do find that some colours are harder to kind than others. so when I saw a lovely bright red solid it quickly when into the cart. Also like that is double the size of most of the cotton skeins that I have.
Happy Knitting
