Good knitting

I'm free! I'm free!  The floor is done and looks good.  It's is an almost perfect match for what we had before and yet it is oh so different.  

I had a great knitting weekend.  

I knit to the middle of the first multi colour band...and then I ripped it back.  Too many stitches too soon caused the whole thing to ruffle up.  A ruffled top is not a good look on a person.  Not when it is supposed to be smooth.  Real ruffles are great but look very different.  

The restart looked better immediately.  

Much nicer.  

I have just finished the second round of increases and I am ready to move on to a longer needle.  Once I do that, I will be able to see if this second round is right or if I need to do another pullback and do a different rate of increases.  

It's close I think, but I want better than close.  I love how it looks.

I will be working on the yellow sweater today.  I want that just as much but a solid single colour sweater needs a bit more determination and stick to it  than a many colored joyous thing.  I want it so I must knit it.
