Knitting

I've been saving this one. It was my first attempt at knitting in the round and I totally twisted my stitches 😂

I read in the pattern about checking your stitches before joining for in the round knitting, but I didn't quite understood what it meant until I was several rows deep into my project and there was a big turn in the middle lol.

A friend told me that twisted cowls were actually a thing so I went ahead and finished it. I even wore it a few times and then I was made aware I also twisted my stitches from knitting into the back loop xD I could not unsee that so I threw it deep into my closet and forgot about it.

Triple fail:

• Twisted stitches in the round
• Twisted stitches from knitting through the back loop
• Taking the picture with the inside out hah!

But wait, there's a happy ending.

As I was getting my stuff ready to move I dug it out from my closet and decided to frog the darn thing. I re-knit it in the Free For All pattern and I'm much happier with it now. I'm looking forward to use this version when cold season finally hits.

(In hindsight I should have done this pattern in the first place, it's been in my favorites forever, but back then I didn't really know how to read patterns in English so I never realized it was knitted flat lol).
