Another Frog
What is it with me these days? Seems like I'm frogging more stuff than I'm actually knitting!
Like this:
It was going to be a Christmas ornament cover. The pattern called for #5 dpns and worsted or dk weight. Normally, I would go down to #3. But I couldn't find #3s quickly (and I have no attention span on this cough medicine) so I grabbed the #1 needles. And I cast on, using the 48 stitches called for in the pattern for a dk weight yarn, since I'd decided to use this crochet cotton.
Now, if anything, this thing should be too small. But no. I dropped a 2" ornament straight through it without any obstruction. Too big.
I'm ripping it out and I might reknit this later. I like the look of the crochet thread and the smaller needle. I just have to reduce the number of stitches.
Stay tuned.
