First Project

This is my first Fitted Knits project. I've been lurking here for a while and finally have a chance to start something.

I'm making the Mini Cardi with some handspun, hand-dyed yarn I got on Etsy. I'm a loose knitter so I swatched and came up with 3 stitches to the inch on 11s. It must have been a combination of just moving, Veronica Mars on DVD and the excitement of finally using this new yarn that made me think of going down another needle size... Long story short, I started knitting using 10-1/2s almost finished the body, tried it on and thought, "wow this is small". So I frogged and cast on for the medium size.

Today, about a third of the way through the body, it hit me that I should have gone up a needle size rather than down... well, I guess I'll try it on and if it's still to small I'll be frogging again. I will probably have to knit a few extra rows to make it a good length...

Wish me luck and hopefully this knitting brain lapse will go away!
