Well, last night I decided to pull out the old Seed Stitch Scarf (henceforth the SSS), as I like the feel of the yarn a lot better than the orange for the afghan square, even though I know I have to finish it first. Anyhow, I got a couple inches done on the scarf. Because it's seed stitch, it just grows so slowly. I wish I had chosen a different stitch for this scarf, let me tell you... but it's over 2 feet long and it'd be more painful to frog than to finish. And it is pretty much gorgeous.
Today, I'm going to work on the Polka Purl Dot top from IK, which I am making for my sister who lives in Washington DC. I think my first step, though, is going to be retyping the pattern in such a way that it a) is visually clearer to read and b) only has the numbers listed for the size I am making (34, in case you are curious). Then I will wind the yarn and swatch, and hopefully it wil all work right. Especially if she likes the chartreuse color as much as my mother thought she would.
I'll keep you posted.
Update:
I think i found an error in the pattern. Has anyone else read the pattern (or started to knit this top)?
Here's what it says:
"Next row (WS; row 14 of chart) Blah blah blah, knit the row... Work 1 more row even in patt--Row 14 of chart has been completed." The next row called for is an RS row.
Now, am I reading the pattern wrong, or did they tell me to knit row 14 twice?
I emailed this to Interweave and I'm nowhere near getting to this row yet (as I have to figure out how to properly execute the "Tubular Cast On," but I do hope to figure it out before I get that row of the pattern!
