Unfortunately I did not take careful enough heed of the warning that the set up rows are tricky. After I had knitted an inch and one-half I realized there was not only an error in the stitches, but I had a twist in the loop. And I thought I had been so careful.
The worst part of ripping back and casting on 234 stitches again was knowing that each round had taken me one half hour to knit. The entire ripping and re-winding of the ball and collecting the stitch markers that indicate a pattern change took about six minutes.
After a few days I have little to show. Funny, when I asked Rick if he wanted to try it on--He laughed!
I'll need to buy some more stitch markers before long. Soon more cable patterns will be added into the mix.Rick is off to Florida for a week this morning. He left a nice gift behind for me.

Love is in the air!
What a lovely gift! Great color.
All of those stitch markers are giving me a headache.
Wow! My head is spinning. You need a very stoical attitude to rip back and start again.
Isabella, I like the way you say that -- it's nicer than what I was thinking to thinking to myself, "I must have a screw loose upstairs!"
