I’ve always found that if I keep a note book handy and write down each row so I don’t ‘loose’ the pattern it helps. If their are many patterns within one sweater, I’ve even written down exactly where I’m at on the row. This really helps me.
Don’t forget to update your notes if you do a tear out to fix a problem.

TOHO –

I can’t imagine ever doing an Aran sweater myself. I’m starting out with something a lot simpler – just a few cables here and there. It’s going well so far, but it’ll still take awhile.

Thanks for stopping by, and I might have to find something special for anyone who finds a knitting-related snarf. You up to the challenge?

It takes a wicked long time to knit a complete Aran sweater (like, years, ask me how I know). You could just jump right in, but I’d suggest something a bit more manageable like a cabled hat to get started. Or skip the Aran (the stuff can end up like chainmail if you’re not careful, again, ask me how I know) pick a nice Family Circle Knitting beginners style for a morale-boosting finished project.

Will there be kudos to the markeroon who finds a knitting related snarf?

It’s a bit like that with kilts! “The tartan” was actually an institution of the 19th century, popularized by an Englishman! :: grin ::

Thanks for taking part. Your link and the link to the next meme will be up tomorrow morning.
