\"\"<\/a>Because I was in class till 4 pm on Friday with errands to run afterwards, I didn’t cast on untill about 6 pm. I hope I’ve casted on the correct number of stitches. The stitches are broken down by section with stitch markers inbetween. When I add up the number of stitches in each section, they don’t equal the number listed under total number. All the other sizes are correct. I decided to go with the number listed in the actual cast on, and assume that the total number is a typo. I was a tad worried when I read ahead and realized that if I had cast on the total number I would be doing an even number of increases; with the cast on number I had to do one row beyond an even number of repeats. Thankfully, the other sizes don’t coincide with an even number of repeats either. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>By Saturday, my progress had me almost completely done with the raglan increases. Sunday I finished the increases for certain and stopped just short of dividing for the sleeves. From here I have to figure out how I want to cast on the stitches that will form the under arm. Usually people think off the backwards loop cast on method when casting on in the middle of a row. I hate the backwards loop method. I always end up with extra yarn after knitting the backwards loop stitches, which then results in a hole of some sort. This time I’m considering flipping the knitting around and using the cable cast on (the stitches are supposed to be cast onto the right needle). <\/p>\n

In other news, I’m considering changing my photo hosting. Currently, the majority of my photos are on a site hosted in Britain. I’ve only ever really run into problems when the servers then are taken down at night (in England) for maintenance, which is usually smack in the middle of when I want to upload photos. Unfortunately, to upgrade to get better services would cost something like $80 with the current exchange rate. So, I’m thinking of switching over completely to Flickr, which would put all my photos in one location. I’m just not sure if I want to transfer links to the new hosting site, or leave them archived. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
