On Friday we took the train to Ballarat to see Leon's parents. On the train on the way up I was almost up to the bit of the Baby Surprise Jacket where you switch from decreasing to increasing and I did a count to check. that my stitch counts were approximately correct (this is where I admit that they are ALWAYS out, and then I tweak them).
Well, mine were out by TEN stitches on one side. and when the count is meant to be 38, have 28 stitches is not OK! I wracked my brains and then realised I must have forgotten to do the cuff increases on one side. So I had to rip out half a BSJ! On Saturday we went to Ballarat Beer Fest, where I failed to get a good picture of my friends - or anything else much. There was a petting zoo. And adults where allowed in too!
So I got to pat a sheep and talk to some goats. And all the while I was knit, knit knitting away. Sunday was quiet, house cleaning and doing some prep for the camping and hiking trip we doing next week. I got a bit of knitting done, and found the prefect button for this project in my stash. So I returned to work on Monday, with only a the final rounds and cast off to do, and a lot of ends to finish up! A good weekend, and most of a BSJ as well. Bonus!
