Knit-Along Clue 2

[scoot915]

I just love this yarn

To be honest I am a bit of a yarn snob and acrylic is my least favorite yarn to use, but I do like it for afghans to be used in my home and other items that need to be washed often. Plus...the price usually fits my budget

This yarn has been lovely to work with and is very soft for acrylic. Assume it will get even softer after washing.
I am not sure if this is a new yarn or just the Waverly colors are new...but I do know I think I have found my new go to yarn.

Just finished my last square for clue 2. All of my completed squares are roughly the same size. I don't think I am even going to have to block them. So far, the patterns have knit up with so much give they will be easy to seam together.

I was watching a bunch of videos, and for the most part they usually are right handed/English style, so I have had to adapt to my left handed/Continental style. I think all my squares and stitches end up looking like everyone else posted, but I am pretty sure I just discovered I am doing some of my stitches back wards! Should I need to worry about trying to correct my stitch in the future or if it looks all right, is it all right?
I think I am pulling my purl stitch in the opposite of what it should be. It is really hard to tell for certain.
Advice anyone?

I've been knitting since I was 6 when my Grandmother taught me, and I've never really though much about different knitting styles. but from the couple of videos I have watched since this KAL started I've noticed that I bring my yarn around the needle in the opposite direction. I don't really see any difference. I think if you are happy with your squares that is the main thing, and I wouldn't worry about it too much. Everyone doesn't knit in the exact same way. The way I look at it is whatever works for you, is what you should do, especially if you don't see a difference.

I am almost finished with clue #1, only have 1.5 squares left. Then I plan to start clue #2. If I am lucky I should be starting this clue on Wed. when they bring out Clue #3 So I am hoping I don't have to much trouble since most of you will be moving on and not here to give advice. I have read everyone else's problems so I hope I can learn from them and I'll just fly thru Clue #3 (i know I'm dreaming) I can't wait to get finished with clue 1 so I can add my signiture and start on clue 2!

I'll be there with you!! I am almost finished with clue #1, too. I was so glad to see your post!!

I finally finished both clues. Waiting for #3. In the meantime, I am working on an afghan. I guess I can't put the needles down.

Agreed!

Have now finished the squares for clue 2.
I feel that I am a bit slower than so many others, but at least am getting them done.
Love that stretchy rib stitch, it would make a lovely winter hat.

scoot915,

I washed and dryed my gauge swatches and the yarn does get even softer! It's a great yarn
