So...

I'm knitting Henry from Knitty.com. It's a really lovely pattern. Once you figure out the stitch pattern, things can go very smoothly... or crash and slowly burn.

I'll give you a minute to think about which point I'm on for this pattern.

I'm almost 30 rows into the pattern, which is worked length-wise not width-wise like most scarf patterns. I like working it length-wise because I don't have to keep turning the work. It's fun. But, and it's a big but, if you're off on your stitch count, things don't line up properly. If you're off early on, you know---when you're still not sure what the pattern looks like and how it works up--you don't realize you're making a mistake. At least not until row 20.

So I finally figured out my mistake (an extra stitch---one extra stitch). I adjusted the stitch count and worked up a few more rows and I now understand the way it's supposed to look. I like the way it looks, but I don't want to rip anything back.

I'm divided by whether I want to try to match things up on the other end or just stick to the original pattern and have two different sides.

I'm still thinking.

Thinking.

Screw thinking, I'm just going to knit until I get to the end and I'll make do then.
