However it did not go as smoothly as you would think! Pattern is using small circular cast on 108 stitches. So after digging out my smallest circular needle I started cast on. I then double checked pattern. I then re-counted my stitches. I then repeated the last two steps!
It would appear my smallest circular just isn't small enough, the stitches would not join. Therefore I dug out my old reliable DPNs and cast on with them. I managed to get to row 2 of lace pattern before bed called.
Tonight is 'knit night' I have texted a friend and am getting a one-on-one lesson on the magic loop technique as I think this might turn out to be essential to finish the book without going DPN mad. I'll let you know how it all goes.
To be continued ...
