A Touch of Spring

May 21st, 2007

I couldn’t justify posting just progress of my scarf, but I’m so excited about how it’s coming out that I can’t help it. Hopefully the flowers will make it OK. Don’t you just love spring?

Also, I think that tonight I will make my second attempt at a log cabin rectangle. I need some easy knitting, so a nice garter stitch washcloth is in order I believe. Here’s where I think I went wrong with my first attempt at log cabin squares.

Check out the corners at each rectangle change. You can see the stitch from the previous rectangle on that rectangle. A dark green on a light green rectangle, and vice versa. What (I think) it said to do in Mason-Dixon Knitting was to bind off all stitches but the last one, and begin picking up the stitches for the next rectangle using that last stitch as the first stitch of the row.

I need to do one of two things to fix this (I think). 1) Bind off all stitches before picking up for the next rectangle, or 2) knit the last stitch while doing the bind-off with the next color to be used. We’ll see how my progress goes tonight. Perhaps I’ll try both methods and see which I prefer. Wish me luck!
