WOOT WOOT FREAKIN WOOT!
I goofed, but left it because I'm not frogging back. I'm so excited it's rediculous. I was getting annoyed because I couldn't get this pattern wrapped together with my brain. Finally it clicked and I was sailing from there. I figured out what I needed to do to mark stitches.
Because I was making too many knit vs purl/purl vs knit mistakes, I needed to pick back freqently till I could visualize the stitch patterns. So I had to mark not only the point in the pattern as instructed, but I also had to mark my slipped stitch too in case I had to pick back the entire row.
Yes, I'm excited about a yarn pattern. At almost 2 am. Because I finally figured it out and have now cast off the item from my needles.
I'll post pictures later. You muggles probably will never understand my excitement. The project defied me, and I ripped it back to cast-on 3 times. The 4th time was my charm. I am so gonna make this in smaller sizes for my girls now too. Well not now-now...I need sleep. Later-now. Clone will be so excited for me when she sees it in the morning.
just WOOT! It's all I can say.
I did my own version of THIS.

that's cute!! And it looks like a good beginners project (meaning for ME!) - I need to learn how to increase & decrease & all that jazz...knitting is fun but like learning a whole new language :) Congrats on another cast off!
Andrea, this is short rows actually, not increases and decreases. However it is a good beginner project. Now that I understand it, I will also use this as a no-brainer waiting room project too.
Congrats!
Short rows drive me insane!
VERY cool!
