Counting is Hard
12 Oct 2004 • Calum •
I need to go back to kindergarten or something because I have a problem with ribbing. This happens to me nearly every time I cast on for ribbing…I screw up on my first row because I can’t count. In this case, I could not alternately count to 4 and then to 3. I had to start over again 3 times before I finally got it. It’s not rocket science. It’s counting to 4. I may not have completed high school but I thought I had the numbers from 1 to 10 totally under my cerebric control.
It’s coming along and I expect to get the back finished tonight or tomorrow. In the photo I’ve just about used up one ball of Peace Fleece, 8 more to go.

Mine is 1-2-1-2. If I go over two, I’m fine. It’s the odd/even thing, I think. Hey, at least we aren’t alone, eh?
Yeah, it’s the odd/even. One side my knits are 4, the other side they’re 3. Tricky bastards.
I have the same problem! :o) In my case it’s counting to 3 at the moment. I am knitting a shawl that has a 3 stitch pattern to it and I have messed up 3 out of 10 rows so far on it, luckily it’s a very lacy pattern and I will later be dropping stitches so I doubt anyone will notice because I’m damned if I’m casting on 152 stitches with laceweight yarn and beads again! :o)
