Maybe I'll go back to the mittens. It IS cold outside...

The Advent Calendar Scarf hasn't gotten off to a good start.

My size 4 needle, that the pattern requires, is being used in another lace project and I didn't want to take it out.

So I used a size 5 instead. Ripped because of looseness issues.

Went down to a size 3. Really like the fabric now.

Have never done cables. Day 2 has cables. Tried once. Didn't turn out. Ripped out.

Tried again. Still didn't turn out. Ripped again. Will be omitting Day 2.

Didn't have a lifeline and didn't want to rip all the way back so put in a lifeline as best I could. Turned out ok. Phew!

Got lost in the pattern and should have been doing garter stitch instead of stockinette. Need to rip back to lifeline. Again.

Project officially in time out. It'll be really fun after Christmas.

And besides that it was -10 degrees this morning. Right now, the stranded mittens are looking much more appealing than a lace scarf!
