Knit n Purl

After the booties, i decided to embark on a new project! I am knitting a sweater! On fri, i down loaded the knitting instructions and free pattern from the Internet and ask darby to print out for me. Than i went to spotlight to but my yarn, needles and all other stuff that i need for my sweater. Went back home to try but unfortunately, i just couldn't get it right! :( so sad... think it's the needle that i bought was too big for the yarn.

Return to spotlight on sat again and this time, i decided not to act smart but follow exactly the brand n colour and size of the yarn n needles needed. Darby's back was stiff again n he was hungry so got to chop chop and can't really hang around too much. So exchanged the stuff i bought on fri, had lunch and got all the stuff home.

I spent the night knitting n unpicking and knitting n unpicking and still fail so bo bian, decided to go to bed. On sun, very buay gum guan, i tried again but this time, i compared the stitch pattern on the instruction book n it look different.. damn it! i just could not get past the 5th row before i destroyed everything and start again. I finally succeeded on the eleventh try and realised what went wrong at abt 11pm sun night. Wah lau.. didn't know that knit n purl could be so tough! Should have spent $40 at golden dragon n have a teacher coach me! But than, thinking back, i felt really accomplished and know that if i put my mind at something, nothing is impossible, even knitting! Hope to finish my sweater by end of this week! hee =D
