so, how many times can i start the same glove? apparently at least 4. today i was knitting along happily, got about an inch into the glove and realized that i was using the wrong ribbing pattern. d'oh! yesterday i was, er, too relaxed and kept dropping stitches through inattention. yesterday morning it was a case of way-too-tight-tension. i don't even remember what went wrong the first time. and this is glove 2 in a pair - and i made the same pattern in december. bah. i feel dumb. but at least it's only a inch not a yard...... and it's easy-peasy once i remember which pattern to use. so i rip [again] and re-start.
but it does make one feel dumb.
and i'm not even going to mention out loud how i forgot to swatch.... luckily the gauge i'm getting when i pay attention works perfectly for the recipient. don't forget the swatch, kids. it's key.
