Knitting Goddess #9

Much frustration with Haley's hat.

I'm inventing a cable pattern, and was going to do an 8 stitch repeat for an 88 stitch hat. Finish the ribbing, switch to larger needles. Do the pattern and realize I'm short two stitches. Add two and continue.

And sitting and waiting for things to start at Middle Children tonight, I realize something.

I'm a complete moron.

The pattern goes as follows- 4 cable forward, 2 ps, 2 cable back, 2 ps.

Perhaps you can add as well as I can. That's a 10 stitch repeat, not an 8. Hence, it was necessary to add 2 stitches. Sigh...

While this does not completely change the pattern, it's good to know. An 8 stitch repeat should have gone 4 cbf, 1 p, 2 cbb, 1 p. I even remember counting out the stitches.

I guess I just can't add at 2 in the morning. Ah well.
