After the 4-stitch disappointment of yesterday, I have switched my allegiance to another Ribwarmer, at least for a few days.
I had to hang around at a birthday party yesterday (many 10-year-old girls bowling!) so got a decent start on it.
I could, indeed, have taken the cardigan piece, but I am still looking at it in disbelief, and thought garter stitch over 30 stitches on 6 mm needles just sounded so much more pleasant!
I hope you don't mind that I told your 4 stitch story to S. last night. She's feeling discouraged that she didn't get better at knitting the times she did try, which is keeping her from wanting to try again. She says she really, really wants to knit, but just hates making so many mistakes. Learning curves, climbing mountains to slide down the other side, all kinds of metaphors were flying.
