Not much really. Especially considering that I was much further along yesterday.<br \/>\nThe pattern says to pick up 80 stitches around the neck for the collar. The most I could neatly and evenly pick up was 68. So I decided that they were wrong, and I only needed 68, so I worked the 10cm for the collar. Then, ready to cast off, I looked at it and realised that 68 stitches made a very narrow collar.<br \/>\nAfter cursing a bit, I ripped back to the row of picked up stitches. I had 68 stitches on the needle, and I still didn&#8217;t feel that I could pick up 80 stitches, so I just worked another plain row, evenly increasing to 80 stitches, then started the ribbing. I&#8217;m much happier wth it now.<br \/>\nSo hopefully in the next few days there will be a finished object to show, stay tuned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have no idea why I thought that I would have more free time when Em went back to school, becuase now the chauffeuring is taking up my time.
