wham, wham, wham, wham, garter
Balance is good. About a week ago, I was in the middle of wrestling with a new design challenge. For counterpoint, I started a scarf in Noro Kureyon (183 (c), 4 skeins picked up at the Mind's Eye sale).
The only bits that will have required paying a smidge of attention:
- cast on (crocheted, about 280 stitches [US 6])
- first row (break wool and start knitting at first, instead of last cast on stitch [better beginning edge])
- bind off (probably in purl [better finishing edge])
- first stitch of each row (slip purlwise [better turning edge, instead of all those bumps])
Otherwise, it's knit, knit, knit, knit.
This looks like another interesting project!

Sometimes those are the best projects, just get in the groove of it. The color is beautiful too.

And ... for whatever sick reason, I keep reading your headline as "wham bam garter ma'am."

It's beautiful. I can't wait to see how it turns out. I love that colorway.

It looks good.
Your WWIP day sounds like quite a trip and I think drag queens would make most people's day a little unusual. Of course it is a little disconcerting to stand beside a man in drag who looks way better as a woman than you do.

Interesting. Do your comments re starting the first row and binding off apply to most projects in general? (I know the slipped stitch on each row does.)Every little detail matters, so I'm happy to learn new ones.
