I have started the sleeves for my green sweater, and I learned something interesting... I am using one size bigger needles than are called for in the pattern, I started this sweater, oh... over a year ago, and typically I am a tight knitter, I can't remember if I did a gauge swatch, I don't dislike the fabric I am getting, it's a little bit drapier than I think the designer intended, but I think it will fit okay, with more ease we shall see I guess. It wasn't until I started the sleeves. in the correct needles did I notice, this was after I started the sleeves with the called for cast on amount, knit that for a while, decided I want the sleeves to start a little bit smaller, ripped it out, cast on a again, with less, and plans to increase slowly, noticed the gauge was smaller then the body of the sweater, ripped it out... but don't they say the third time is the charm?
I wild love to just work on the sleeve today, but the apartment has sort of reached critical mass, so, something must be done.
So a tiny side note, I am writing this in my iPad, but just through safari, and for some reason I can select a word and change it.... so, the sentence above has a typo... obviously an auto correct which changed whatever I typed thinking it was "would" into "wild". I have the blogger app, but it wont let me type in landscape mode... But it made me wonder, can I learn to make the perfect app?But it makes me wonder, am I creative because I want things the way I want them, or do I want things the way I want things because I am creative?
