My streak of reading comprehension FAILs continued. I was excited and in a hurry to cast this on, so I just looked at the chart and didn’t READ the instructions. As a result, I’ve been knitting this thing “backwards” from the get-go. If I’d been thinking, I could easily have fixed the problem seven rows in when I did my first set of decreases, but the good news is that I’m pretty sure I know how I can rectify my mistake seamlessly. Hooray!
Moral of the story? Pay attention when you read directions.
In other news, I made a point of getting both of my smaller projects back on track. I ripped out about an inch of my socks-in-progress a week ago, put in my increases markers at the proper point and have been off to the races ever since.
So basically, the V between the markers is everything I’ve knit since last week. Yay, small project that can take a few stitches here and there!
And, last night, I got a few rounds in on my Bagstopper. Inching ever-closer to the top border. Hooray!
We start vacation on Saturday night, so it remains to be seen whether I’ll be doing more knitting or reading next week. For whatever reason, reading usually wins when I’m on vacation.

That sweater is knitting up so nicely (even if it is backwards -- I can't tell!).
A vacation at the lake (I assume that's where you're going) sounds just about perfect for the end of August.
