If at first you don't succeed...
Well, I started on the Orange Aran over the
weekend, happily casting on, counting and counting again, and then knitting the
first couple of rows, I got to the instruction to change to the larger needles.
Darn. I was already using them.
So I ripped that out and cast on again, counting and counting to make sure that I had the right number of stitches. Then I messed up on the set-up row and, while I was going back, dropped a stitch that unraveled itself from the cast on.
Darn.
Luckily, third time was the charm:
The charts are more compressed than I'd like. I started recharting the whole thing, but I'm hoping that the smaller cable panels will be obvious enough I can just follow their logic.
I really do like this sweater.
