Two steps forward.......


You know when your heart says 2.5mm and your head says 2.0mm. Well, I listened to my heart :( In my defence, I LIKE 2.5mm. It has a nice ring to it and I am sure that Dan Brown and Mr Da Vinci would find something particularly positive to say about this combination of numerals.

However. Karen of Karendipity-fame did say 2.00mm needles....but I ignored her advice and the little voice in my head (ok I admit to voices in my head....this was one of the quieter ones...so I ignored it....if it had been the louder "eat more ice-cream"...well we wouldn't be having this conversation....anyway, I digress...)

So although stunningly beautiful in my eyes, this progress so far will have to be frogged. I have thin wrists and arms (think pale, shaved Orangutang)...so a visit to frog-pond...so now you see it.....
So have a quick look at rhe braided cast on and the corrugated rib :(

It's beautiful! Much better to frog it now though and start over with the right size ;o)

If it makes you feel any better - I'd have had a go with 2.5mm's first too - just because..... well that's it, just because!!!!!! Have you seen that ProbablyJane has finished one already??

It's a beautiful color combination, but I agree it could be a bit tighter. Looking forward to seeing it completed! Better to frog now before it gets too far along...

For different breed of knitter read saddo who should get out more...

I do like that colour combination - reminds me of brown bread ice cream.

PS do you have a deadline in mind for your golf competition? I haven't forgotten but work so much better under pressure!

Shame about the frogging, it will be gorgeous when finished though :)

Well, I too would have gone with 2.5mm as 2mm seems tiny!!! I love the colour combination though. Shame you have to frog, but better it fits than too big ;)
