Crud, I hope I remember where I put that notebook that had the number of rows in each strip of the blanket I'm making....

Otherwise I'll have to count all over again. XD

I learned the counting thing the hard way.

I was trying to eyeball it. Lay the strips down next to each other, on top of each other etc, to see if they were the same length.

Somehow with my second one, I went way over on the number of rows.

I didn't know it, though. I just noticed that sometimes it looked shorter than the other one, and sometimes longer.

So I broke down and counted. Took me forever.

Well, not THAT long.

now typing out Day 2's journal entry!

I got my notebook, and I took the original strip, and I'd count rows up to 20, then mark it down.

Then I'd take the next 20, and so on.

Something like....400 rows? 30 stitches wide.

I don't remember how many rows there were anymore. XD

But yeah, I think I'm on strip 3, now. >.< I have like...um....don't even remember how many more. 3 after this one, I guess.

And then, when I'm done with this blanket, I can give my friend her knitting needles back.

Since I have a set of my own, now.

I do have to admit that the aluminum needles are pretty cool. They have a nice clack to them.

The ones in the set I got are super-lightweight, and plastic and almost no clack.

Take some getting used to, but I have SO many needles and I can make so many different combos with them and whatnot, it's pretty stinking awesome.

But here I am, going on and on about knitting.

And I have not eaten yet today.

And there are no knitting needles in my hands.

1 hour left. Next week my hours change, so more sleep time in the morning!
