I cast on yet again for the latest project. I generally try to initially put stitch markers every 50 stitches, just to make counting easier. On my second attempt, as I worked my way up through the several rows of stitching I did manage to accomplish, I finally shifted the markers to every 60 stitches. I reasoned that with a six stitch pattern repeat, it made more sense and I could easily tell if I was where I was supposed to be at the end of each section.

So for my third cast-on attempt, I decided to go with markers every 60 stitches rather than every 50. It didn’t seem to make sense to use the 50 count when I knew I’d just shift everything once I started the pattern anyway.

Apparently I can no longer multiply. I dutifully placed markers every 60 stitches, but I still cast on with six sections…so I wound up with 360 stitches per round rather than 300.

Back to the frog pond yet again….
