Boring few days...

Since I've been relegated to 'bed' rest since I had my wisdom teeth removed last week I've had a lot of time to knit, watch tv and well sleep!  And of course do some online window shopping! hehe
I am well underway with sock #2, I started the heel flap this afternoon.

My lace yarn also arrived today :) Which is totally awesome!  I unpacked it all and rolled it into a nice ball.. boy did it take forever!  I didn't realize 700yrd would take 3 hours to wind up..
I made my 1st attempt at casting on, but well I ended up tearing it out.  It just well didn't look right!
It says to CO 66 sts and knit across, which I took as cast on 66 (obviously) and knit the next row... but then it says:
Row 1 (on right side) sl1, k9.. etc
Row 2 and all wrong side rows sl1 and purl..

Thoughts?  If I'm suppose to cast on and then knit across, I'd be on the wrong side wouldn't I?

Maybe I'll go back to my socks and try again tomorrow....

Only a few more days left in my holidays.. *sigh* not sure I really want to go back to work.. I'm actually enjoying being around home and knitting hehe :)

    That is confusing. I'm not sure.
    I hear you on winding. I'm still winding my skein - I think I have 1200 yards! Hope your teeth feel better. I remember when I had mine out it was miserable.

    Is it a shawl you're making? And if so, is it knitted from the middle of the shouldrs and down, making it wider with each row? If so, there are very othen a garter stitch border at the top of the shawl, and that is probably what you are beginning with. Therefore I would say that you knit one row, and that will be the backside of the shawl, so on the next row you just start following the pattern.

    Good luck, I hope you could make some sense of my explanation!

Book Tour: Bring Me Back by Karen Booth

I’m Karen, a Midwestern girl transplanted in the South, raised on 80s music, Judy Blume, and the films of John Hughes. An early preoccupation with Rock ‘n’ Roll led me to spend my twenties working my way from intern to executive in the music industry. Much of my writing revolves around the world of backstage passes and band dynamics. My first full-length novel, “Bring Me Back”, is a story I had in my head for nearly eight years before my fingers hit the keyboard. Sleeping and eating quickly became a luxury, a plan I have since dubbed the Writer’s Diet. I channeled teenage memories of plastering my walls with posters to weave the tale of music journalist, Claire Abby, and the dreamy British rock-star crush of her youth, Christopher Penman. “Bring Me Back” is a work of women’s fiction, published by Turquoise Morning Press. When I’m not creating fictional musicians, I’m listening to everything from old-school Cheap Trick to Duran Duran to Superchunk with my kids, honing my Southern...
