Every time I pick up a new knitting project I try to learn something new; A more efficient way to grip the yarn, a better way to cast on... you get the idea. The thought does occur to me to apply this thinking to - I dont know, say my job - but I digress.
A friend mentioned that she was picking up knitting again and modifying this herringbone cowl into a blanket, an ambitious fist project! I loved the texture and was looking for something to zone out a bit with, so I cast on my cowl to be. I guess that means I like to un-knit, as much as I like to knit :/
I looked simple enough - knit 2tog only drop 1, knit 2tog only drop 1, repete. Second row, through the front knit 2tog only drop 1...wait, what? 3 youtube videos later it finally clicked through the front = keep your yarn in back, but act like your purling. Perhaps another glass of wine would help. Yes, more wine...
