So back to my fingerless gloves. As you know, I got about halfway done with one of them and had to start over. It went a lot more smoothly the second time. In fact, I finished the main part of the glove rather quickly. All I had to do was add the cuff. Easy! Or at least it would have been if I had done the proper cast on in the first place. But I didn't.
For those of you who don't knit, the cast on (CO) is the very first thing you do when starting any project. Usually, you cast on, keep knitting, and once you're done with the first row you don't think about the cast on ever again. But this pattern called for a special kind of CO. One that I had never done before. One that I inevitably screwed up.
After finishing the entire body of the glove (complete with only a single thumb hole and everything!) I had to simply set it aside and, once again, start all over.
By the time I actually finish these gloves, I will have done enough knitting to have made three pair.
