Notes

7/4/10: Cast on tonight. I finished all the increases and rows up to the point where the mesh begins. I opted to knit the YOs through the front loop to intentionally get the holes & “spiral” effect. I also plan on doing the K2TOGs through the back loop instead of through the front loop as is more traditional. I think that look is a little more unique and “mesh-like”

I wrote out the pattern where it says to continue in the 2 row pattern until there are 96 stitches (total). Essentially you count up to row 14, where you end as follows:

Row 13: Knit
Row 14: YO, k7

(Each increase row is adding 12 stitches to the entire circumference).

Then continue on and knit 6 rows without increases.

7/6/10: I’ve gotten about 6cm in to the mesh pattern. I really like how the pattern is turning out, using the K2TOG through the back loops. My only frustration is that it makes the knitting MUCH slower for me. I know that had I chosen the traditional K2TOG my needles would be flying along. If I make one for myself, I’m not sure which way I’d go - convenience or look. :)
