Trouble out of the shoot
I waited to cast on for Ene until 8pm, the start of NBC's broadcast of the opening ceremonies. (The opening ceremonies actually started an hour later after after all of NBC's mumbo jumbo.)
Neurotically counting stitches as I went, I finished casting on at 9:20pm. During the humanimation ski man.
I rewarded myself:
Two and a half hours later, this:
According to pattern, you cast on double stranded and drop one strand of yarn as you begin the body of the scarf. I had some problems with the double stranding and also I cast on too tight and the stitches were not moving along the needle smoothly. Argh!
I didn't want to go to bed without at least casting on for my project, so:
Needless to say, I'm kind of tired.

I feel your pain! I cast on, knit the first row according to pattern, I thought, and was off by3 stitches, so riiiiiip went those 375 stitches.
I did not cast on again. I think I may change yarns.
Good for you sticking with it and casting on again!
