A guess about the extra purl stitch at the beginning of the needle: I'd be willing to bet that in moving the yarn from back to front at the transition between needles you somehow inadvertently created a YO - it's all too easy to do. Then at the next round you automatically worked it like a real stitch, and the rest is history....Tsarina of Tsockshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15157327516427282460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6226020518058197034.post-39161588854705123972007-10-08T15:42:00.000-04:002007-10-08T15:42:00.000-04:00I have to tell you that right now, at this stage in the mitten (still the cuff, because of so much schoolwork!)...it looks truly phallic, because it's a tube, and, you know. I'll post a picture later this evening. But I did manage to get my hand through it, so the ribbing is stretching enough. I have faith in your sweater - if I can get my hand through a tiny ribbed tube, a legwarmer size should be fine!!Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09920092567378973292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6226020518058197034.post-23756084089701335632007-10-07T21:43:00.000-04:002007-10-07T21:43:00.000-04:00Oh, yay, I'm glad to see the mittens underway! The cuff does look...compact...but ribbing will do amazing things. My ribbed sweater looks like a leg-warmer right now, but I have faith -- hopefully not misplaced! -- that it will stretch.lilyriverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17437440486221956180noreply@blogger.com
