This was a fairly quiet week but not without its stress. On Friday
I knit the swatch for my Sneaky Sheep project on Friday night and that went reasonably well although I cheated on the number of rows. I knit enough to get gauge on the number of stitches in each row and then knit another inch and a half to count rows rather than the four inch block I was supposed to knit. On Saturday I tried to cast on with a long tail cast on and ended up with a good two yards of yarn left on the tail. So I pulled it out and started over, but still had well more than yard of yarn at the end. I tried again, this time running out of yarn with about twenty stitches left to go. I pulled it out, grabbed a different skein (I bought four for this project) and tried again. This time I had about a foot and a half too much but decided that was close enough and called it good. I spent Sunday knitting the first part of the pattern and started the second. I was half was through row #7 when I realized that I'd skipped row 4. Tink, tink, tink. I'm back on track now but haven't had time to work on it since Monday night. That was only two nights ago but somehow it seems longer.
