Let's discuss needles. I decided, since I live quite close to HL, to go there, and grab some size 13 circs, for making a lace ponch, to help with my lace making skills and YO, so I can make the lace scarf. the lace poncho is pretty easy.

  So, I  buy size 13, 29 inch Boyes, and four skeins of LB suede. I can picture a poncho made of this stuff, so I'll make one myself. It's not a hard pattern, it's from Knitter's Edge...so I can't post it here. Describe it, yes.

   I cast on my 120 stitches, and I think everything is going well, and all of a sudden, the yarn doesn't move. It keeps getting stuck on the ridge between the needle and the cable. I swear, the ridge grew within minutes of using the things. Then, they became like box springs, old box springs. I swear, they are made out of the same thing. I couldn't get the yarn to go either way. Then, the yarn became tight, and I had to cut the yarn, and I wasted quite a bit. I couldn't get the yarn off of the box springs!Well, I found my size 11 circs, got the calculator out, did some math I could've done in my head, and figured that 132 stitches on 11 needles were equal to around 126 stitches on size 13 needles. So, I recasted on 132 needles, but I had  along tail.

I thought everything was going well, till, I got to then end of what I thought was the actual working yarn, and it's the end of the darned tail. I did about 24 stitches. To undo them isn't that big oof deal, I guess. I hate it, I was so  careful.

   Now, I have to ask anyone who is reading this. I don't have a 29 inch waist. Will this stretch to 35 inches? It's on a 29 inch needle, so far...(I got on www.elann.com and ordered the size 11, Addi Turbo's, 40 inches long, and paid for it immediately.) Does that mean it will  stretch itself around me? By my math, it should. But I don't understand cause it makes a 29 inch circle, am I not right, or is it so bunched up, I cna't see it? It's on size 11, 29 inch Clover bamboo, which are very good needles, but AT are way better. I love my C.lover bamboo, exspecially, my straight Clovers.

  So, I have to undo 24 stitches, very carfeully, to the start of the circle, and start again....Let's see, 4 hour poncho, it's already 9:00, need a shower, (think, my priorities), 4 hour poncho, undo 24 stitches...inother words, take it appart, again, and recast them on, and by then it will be 10:00, and I need a shower cause I have church tomorrow. I was planning on wearing this one tomorrow. Will be up until atleast 3 a.m.., stitching....guess there's not church for me tomorrow. Was goign to color my hair, but now I'm afraid to, itmight turn out green.
