Ode to a rectangle

8_26_dang_twistCompany is arriving Tuesday and I need some mindless knitting I can do with rambunctious niece and nephew around (err not to mention to rambunctious older kiddos of my own). I’ve pulled out The Incredible Circular Rectangular Miter acquired back in July as just the thing. I wanted to use stash yarn so I pulled out a skein each of cream and chocolate Frog Tree fingering weight and some size 3 needles and proceeded to cast on for a couple of hours until I had nearly 500 stitches. Since I’m using heavier weight yarn I’m getting off easy as I’m doing about %75 fewer stitches and rounds all told. Unfortunately, after 5 or 6 rounds I realized I did indeed have a twist in my knitting and had to frog the whole thing. I paid a visit to the LYS and purchased a mucho longo needle and am going to cast on again and then transfer to the shorter needles after a few rounds.

  1. Nice pattern. I haven’t seen that one before!

  2. What a cool pattern. I’m just sorry you have to cast on 500 stitches again!
