Progress Forward Finally

Most of last week had negative knitting progress. First, I realized the sock was too big and going o flop around the leg. Very annoying. So, on Friday it got frogged. I now have smaller needles set out to try again soon. I have noticed that two out of three sock attempts since the 5280 count start have failed for me. It is making me wonder if I should just knit other stuff for awhile. Don't get me wrong, the yarn will be socks in the future. It maybe a month before I try again.

The other negative progress was the Scottish Wave Mobius. I cast on and was going great guns at the knitting guild meeting. Then I tried to get the pattern stitch to work out and finally concluded that I had 5 too many stitches. The count even worked out 3x times. So much for counting. I wonder if the black hole for knitting sucks stitches in while someone is counting and then spits them backout. So, I frogged it on Friday.

This weekend I restarted the Mobius and it is going well. I am about to start the second batch of red. This time I figured out that it was an 11 stitch repeat and put a marker every 33 stitches while casting on. So, one unique starting marker and 10 regular markers with on set of 11 stitches between the last regular marker and the starting one.

Then I got through one repeat on the center block of the Oregon shawl.

So, progress has finally been achieved.
