Did you start your Times Square today? We had fun starting ours at Stash! If you are knitting along with us at home here are a few tips:
1. Knit a gauge swatch and wet block it to get correct gauge!
2. The pattern refers to using a fancy "alternate cable cast on" I chose to use this one, if you choose to use your good ole stand by, the long tail, it will be just fine!
3. We also found it easier to keep track of your pattern by placing stitch markers on Row 1 (after the ten rows of garter) as follows: (P1, K1) 7 times total (or 14 sts) p1, place marker here, knit recommended sts, place marker here, continue in pattern.
It's fun to see the many ways people knit, the colors and yarn they choose, and the accessories they need. I managed to remember to take a few pictures of our KAL at Stash
I'm a little old school, I like to use the paper pattern and write notes all over it, I also need my stitch markers ready. Kate on the other hand seems to be very minimalistic, just her project and IPad. Margaret, like me, has all her supplies at the ready.
