That's what I get...
Blah. So not quite 6 months ago I realized something. I knit wrong.
And I decided to just continue with the projects I was working on and when I finished them I'd fix it. I still haven't finished those prior projects, but when I started the felted bag I just started knitting correctly without even thinking about it. And all was right in the world again.
Or so I thought. Yesterday afternoon I was slammed into a brick wall of reality. And now I know that I purl wrong. Instead of purling into the front of the stitch I go into the back, which pretty much twists my purl stitches.
Apparently, my original knitting wrong, while it was in theory wrong, was in result right. And now it's wrong all over again. *headdesk*
I was about 2/3 of the way done with the first of Harley's Voodoo wristwarmers when this realization hit me, and I was contemplating starting several other things as well. I am now done with the first Voodoo for her and have an inch or so done on the second one. And I am not starting anything new until I finish these, at which time I will them, once again, correct my knitting ineptitude.
I am just glad I figured this out before starting Rogue, though I am still not 100% sure I want to use my current yarn choice (KnitPick's Main Line in Ink). Black. Cables. What's the point, I am beginning to wonder. I am wishing it came in an olive green, because I'd have gotten that instead of the black. Damn KnitPicks and their limited colors!
Wow. This is my first post here without a single photo. I promise the next will have something pretty to look at.

I wrapped the yarn backwards fot the knit stitches when I started, but I did the purls fine. It was so frustrating to relearn, but eventually it worked. Although on occasion I do freak out that I'm spontaneously wrapping wrong.
And anyone with Neil Gaiman in her list of blogs has to be added to my list of knitting blogs!
