It's 1:30 am and I am just finishing the Day 10 pattern for the 2013 Advent Calendar Scarf by Kristin Benecken. I thought I would be finished with today's pattern, (I guess really yesterday's) before dinner, but as I was finishing the last repeat (8 rows of pattern repeated 3 times), I noticed I was off. When I tried to tink, I dropped a stitch, and had to tink all the way to the end of the first repeat. UGH! Then as I was finishing the 2nd repeat again, the same thing happened. Back and forth I knit. Well, I am finally finished.
It is not that this pattern is super complicated. The only difficult stitches are the P3Tog and P3TogTbl (purl 3 together and purl 3 together through the back loop). But, when you tink those stitches, it is easy to drop a stitch. Also, the lace is knitted on both sides of the scarf. There is no knitting a pattern, then simply purling back. Concentration is required both ways.
So here is the horrible photo of today's pattern.
Tomorrow is the Eastside Stitchers' Holiday Party. I hope I finish the Day 11 pattern before I have to leave for Crossroads.
Peace,
