IN OTHER NEWS: Mom's afghan project continues to be a big challenge. The second eyelet square was just as frustrating as the first but it's finally DONE! Sadly the first eyelet square got some beer on it when one of my fellow knitters at the meetup accidentally knocked his pint over. I need to try and it get it out at some point. It's not too much of a stain thankfully. Hopefully I won't need to knit another eyelet square because GOOD LORD. Seriously I think I frogged the second attempt of the blue one at least three times. Infuriating. Also makes me think that maybe mom is right and I do have ADD.
Today was an adventure in learning to cable. The pattern has completely wrong instructions for the Horseshoe Cable Square which I know thanks to a ravelrer who made a note of it. She wrote out the correct instructions but I had quite a time trying to decode them. Finally figured it all out though! Essentially using these instructions, but doubling the border and doing two cables - http://www.dummies.com/crafts/knitting/designs-patterns/how-to-knit-a-double-cable-horseshoe-cable/
Not too much more to knit before I'm done with the first horseshoe cable square! When I'm done with both, I'll have 6 out of 12 squares completed. The other ones involved multiple colors so those will have to be done mostly at home I'm thinking. Definitely still a bit intimidated by the I-cord border at the end, but I guess I'll knit that stitch when I get there! :P
