Knit-Along Clue 4

[PinkFrost]

hehe, you sound like me, LauraED! I'm so excited that I finally finished Clue 2, but still have 6 of Clue 1 and 7 of Clue 3 left! I'm too curious about Clue 4 to go finish those first, so I'm starting on that tonight and will then motor through as much as I can over the weekend. It will keep me from going out and spending money I need to be saving! =) My piggy bank thanks you, Bernat.

ugh I am so sad and frustrated right now and it isn't even this clues fault!
I had an IV last weekend and I think they hit a nerve cuz my hand is still bruised and I cannot grasp anything with my pinky and the ring finger is not working well either. I tried doing knitting and it just hurts too much. At least I can crochet so I can keep up with that mystery. I got about an inch of this clue worked and had to call it quits. So this means not only am I behind in clue 3 and 1, but now clue 4 too. darn darn darn!I did try knitting a very small project that had called for size 6 needles, I used a size four and it still ended up way large, proving how important it is to have tension on your yarn. If this keeps up I will have to learn that Portuguese way of doing tension. Sadly, typing this has made my hand start throbbing. So it is off to bed for me. Sure hope our catch up week is soon, right about the time my hand heals would be nice!

PS: My crochet tension is way off too, but at least I can do that in my sleep! I finally figured out correct gauge! Using the recommended hook size now! I had been using 2 sizes larger before! lol Wonder if my crochet gauge will stick around once my hand is healed? It would be nice if I can remember what I am doing so I can keep it

Sigh - the past few days, I have lost the will to knit! I have three clue 3's to do and 2 clue 4's. Needed a bit of instant gratification, so I used some stash yarn and crocheted almost all of the CAL clues. Nothing says 'instant gratification' like crocheting! I will go back to knitting this weekend.

I'm so worried about your hand! Call the doctor!

Just finished clue 1 finally! Have 2 more for clue 2, 7 more for clue 3 but I'm going to break out colour A and give clue 4 a try!! Am loving this...if only there were more knitting hours in a day

Will your kids have an upcoming hockey tournament where you can spend some time knitting?
I took today off of work in order to use up some last banked hours before fiscal year end, and got one square done this morning. That was fun!

Their next hockey tournament isn't until April. But we are heading South for March Break on Monday so will have some time on the plane and in the airport to knit!

Gonna finish all of Clue 4 and then experiment with 3 again. Either I'll finally get it or I'll become a designer to figure out a solution!

For clue 3, consider the suggestion to end the first half at 49 stiches and then increase 4 stiches in the next 2 rows. I balked at changing the pattern at first, but it was the only way i could achieve gauge.

Yep, that is the plan, along with going down a needle size so I'm not cramping up my hand. Going to finish my last Clue 4 square tonight so I can experiment fresh tomorrow.

Don't forget to change your clocks ahead an hour tonight! One less hour to knit this weekend...

Lucky you! I wish you lots of sun and warm weather!
Clue 4 is definitely worth it. I recommend it for anyone needing quick gratification and a sense of accomplishment right now!

I'm so sorry!! I hope your hand heals quickly!! That WOULD be so frustrating...and painful!
