I gathered and weighed my yarns…
And I casted on 500 stitches for my Mini Mania scarf.
It took an entire movie (How to Train Your Dragon 2), and a good part of a Dr Who episode, but that’s 500 stitches done with a cable cast on. Phew!!
I don’t think I even have it in me to attack the first row of the pattern. After all, it was a long day….
Library book sale…
Zoo…..
Good night!!
I love my little scrap yarns. Sounds like a cool project! Well done on just counting/keeping count of all those stitches.
I should qualify my comment: for I have trouble keeping count! My husband helps – he has experience stock taking which I think makes him a counting expert.
My method was to cast on 50, and double count (or more). I’d place a marker, then cast one 50 more and repeat. I was super careful about it and ended up with the right number! Phew!
I love that idea! I will make use of that soon, I have a project with a big cast on queued up. Well not as big as the one you’ve managed. Thanks!
Oh boy, those kind of cast ons are insane, yeah? I hope your scarf narrows out toward the end.
Nope, it’s a regular rectangular scarf! But so far it’s fun and not too slow (knock on wood!!).
