Travel

I cast on my travel knitting yesterday.

I cast it on and did about 20 rows when we decided it was too tight. I started again today on larger needles. I'm using the new Noro Ito. Colour 4 and colour 12.

What am I making??? I saw on Facebook that someone had knit Nightshift using Ito. It looked interesting. Not everyone wants to use Dream State so this is another option.

The pattern asks for 5mm needles and I am using 5.5mm now. I knit a touch on the loose side to begin with so I think that if you are going to use Ito you should use 5.5mm or 6mm if you are a tight knitter.

For the first section #12 is colour A and #4 is colour B. For the next section I reversed them.

We have a shipment arriving from Gleener tomorrow.

Now it's bed time. I am exhausted. I should have gone to bed early last night but I got caught up in the football game. And what a game it was.
