I'm referring to a mesh bag pattern by Veronique Avery from "Knitting 24/7". (A book I find is most aptly named as I seem to carry it around 24/7 and contemplate the patterns in it, scheming on what to make next with similar frequency.)
This pattern is unique in its long narrow shape that allows for carrying, fully loaded, over the shoulder rather than at arms's length banging on your knee at every step.
"Wandering mind" syndrome has me forgetting a yarn over every four rounds or so and having to rip back but then not being able to find a sound row and so going right back to the garter stitch base of the bag. I've only done it four times. My total row count to date equals the length of the mesh section of the bag.
Must I face the fact I need a lifeline to work such a basic pattern?
'Hope you have a "happy" knitting day! Thanks for dropping by!
Sometimes it's the simplest projects that are hard to keep straight in our mind! is it a matter of remembering what row you're on? If so, could you put a paper clip or something onto your needle every time you're on Row 1 and take it off for the other rows (I'm guessing every other row is a "rest" row?)?
ReplyDeleteWell - I wish you luck!
ReplyDeleteDoes that mean you already finished the red bag?
ReplyDeleteBoth of the bags seem intriguing.
Good luck following the pattern!
I love that green! It's such a fantastic summery color.
ReplyDeleteIs the knitting hard to read in this pattern? That's what usually gets me - the pattern may be simple enough but I just can't see whether I've made a mistake until I reach the end of the row.
