Ok, enough of my whining before you ask me if I want some cheese to go with it!
Oh yeah, you wanna know my WIP's!
Tilted Duster - This is my boob swatch. I was given the idea from Aimee to just go ahead and knit it for the gauge swatch and you all know I dislike knitting them, so any shortcut is well appreciated. However, I have a dilemma! I always use long-tail cast on and you know since it is considered a knitted row I purled the first row when I started. My main reason for doing so is that it calls to begin and end this piece with a WS row. So did I do this right? The reason I am asking is when I look at the progress the angled part (on your left) is supposed to be on the other side as I am starting the R front. I looked at the L front directions and they seem the same so I will finish this and figure out what to do to make the real right. Should I use another cast on?? help me please....
Mug Cozee's

Welcome back! Sorry, no advice about the cast on. :( Can't wait to see those mug cozies though, I thought it was a really cute pattern when I saw it in the mag!
Welcome back! I can't wait to see the Mug Cozie too--I didn't buy that mag, so it will be a complete surprise to me.
I've heard that the long tail cast on is like a knitted row, but I don't believe it. It always looks like a cast on to me, and so I just treat it like any other cast on. Granted... I've never knit anything where it would matter.
Welcome back, smart lady making a boob swatch, I'll be giggling about that for a while.
I used the knitted CO and then purled the first row. It should be fine :) YAY for boob swatch!
Glad you are home and got to enjoy the snow for a bit!!
Yay for almsot blogiversary too!
Welcome back! No help on the cast on, other than to say I've always treated it as a wrong side row and started with knits straight off.
That mug cozee actually looks more like a boob swatch to me... ;)
Hi! Glad you got to have some snow, though I'm one of those people who'd rather you took it home with you :D
Not sure what to do about the Duster, but I'm glad you're starting on it, so I can follow your progress.
P.S. Got my amazing needle case, I LOVE IT!!!
Welcome back! On the long tail cast on, I just decide which side of the cast on edge I like better and make that the right side. I think one side looks better next to ribbing, and the other side looks smoother with stockinette. I'm looking forward to watching your tilted duster progress. Such a cool sweater.
It's good to have you back!
I'm sorry I have no advice on the cast on for the Tilted Duster you are working on. But I can say I love that color! I've been thinking about amking one - so it will be fun to watch yours come together.
Woo - I love that dark blue - what yarn is it?
Yay for mug cozies! They are a fast knit and a great gift.
Hmmm, about the cast on. I think what you did sounds right.
Yay! You're back! I was kinda hoping the snow would… you know… follow you down…
rats.
Anyway, it was a successful trip and you're back safe and sound. It's all good.
