Mirror Knitter

I have come to the conclusion from the lovely posts and help from the ladies of Ravelry that I am a mirrored knitter. My stitches move from the right needle to the left. From what I have read, it does not pose too many problems. Just a few minor changes in patterns.

Yesterday I ordered some yarn and needles from knitpicks.com. One of the skiens of yarn I did have a pattern in mind, Lace Ribbon Scarf - http://knitty.com/ISSUEspring08/PATTlaceribbon.html.


It is so beautiful. I did a test of the lace pattern last night. Just to make sure all my decreases and increases were going in the right direction. It looks correct, but I am going to take it Tuesday to knit night to get the ladies opinions!  I hate that I have 5-14 business days to wait until I receive my shipment. It's okay though, I have some other WIPs that I should finish before I start this scarf. (FYI this is not my test, this was from the pattern page on Knitty)


On a lighter note. The temperature in Batlimore is on the rise and this makes me smile. My birthday is soon and I asked my friends if we could plan a day trip to Luray Caverns in VA. I have not been there since I was in elementary school. I do not think any of my friends have ever been there. It is a treat for me to see their faces when I introduce them to something new that I love.
