Yay Finished another project

Yay I finished my wristlets!!! Feels really good.

One Wristlet Done

Yay, I finished one of the wristlets and have started on the other. 

Also I got the bright idea to go ahead and chart out the pattern so I'd know when I was twisting on which needles. 

Doing the right twist which is a k2tog but don't remove the sts from the lhn. knitfirst st on lhn normally and remove both sts from lhn. Is a bit tough most of it stems from the k2tog and how the needle just doesn't want to do it's job. 

I think I'm going to try using my cable needle (a size one) as a pilot needle of sorts and see if that helps.

cool trick

I've got a cool trick for knitting in the round that helps me. I put a stitch marker on each DPN then I numbered them so I can stay in order(e.g. 1,2,3,4) . I'm now at a point where I have to knit flat which means I go like this...1,2,3,4,4,3,2,1. It really works well for me.

Project Finished

Yay, finished another project! Michaela's evening shawl which was 21 in wide by 62 in long. It was done in Jo-Ann's whisper soft yarn in blue.

I got it from my knitting book titled "Knit Book: The Basics & Beyond"

Way simple pattern. The hardest thing for me was keeping track of my rows since the yarn couldn't let me read it. 

Another friend who saw the shawl wants his own in black. Don't know if I can get the same yarn as Jo-Ann's is discontinuing it. But I should be able to work around it.
