And She Hand Knits 2

I cast on the Malaga Tank and enjoyed knitting an inch before falling asleep a few nights ago.

And

the next night when I was ready to knit another inch...

I was having trouble smoothing out the 2" under the needle.

And

then I realized I had made a very rookie mistake

of twisting my join for the tank and I had to rip it all out.

And

then I knit the same inch over and tried to catch up the second inch!

So

I have had a half an hour each afternoon this week to knit

while I sit in the car in line waiting for school to get out

to pick up BoyWonder.

I have 10" now under the needle and am ready to start to increase the shaping

stitches back to the full amount again.

So

I wasn't happy with my SSK stitches in the very smooth yarn

and now that I have worked my last decreases,

I have found 

(probably the right way to do it and I have done it wrong all these years)

but it looks good and I feel good about that.

NO

I am not going to rip back to correct the other decreases!
BUT

I keep thinking how much quicker this would knit on the machine

but I am enjoying just knitting round and round

since this first week of school has used up a lot of brain cells.

And

this is a good knit project for me for now!
