Bah

I still haven’t started this scarf for my mother.

I know the stitch pattern I’m using and it isn’t that complicated.

What made it complicated was the decision to knit it like a shawl and include increases which means that the stitch count is constantly changing. And since I don’t want to cram the stitch pattern into the center while all the increases remain on the outside I’m trying to ‘redistribute’ the stitches my changing how many go between the pattern repeats.

I had five sections written out, only to realize that I had once again counted wrong and I was going to have to pretty much start over. Bah!

Edit: Yay! I figured out what I had done wrong. I still have to type up the pattern so that I can read it more easily (my handwriting is really bad), but it’s going to go a lot easier now that I’ve figured out what I was doing wrong that was throwing the count off!

Edit 2: Not only have I pretty much finished typing up the pattern, I’ve also officially cast on! I’m gonna try and finish up the border tonight so that I can start on the pattern areas tomorrow.
