Yarnification

Okay, here’s the proof that I’m done. You may now point and giggle.

Damn, but this poor thing has issues. Not even considering the dyelot problem since I was using scrap yarn, same color/mixed dyelots, wow is this ever bad:
1) The chevrons go all wonky every so often. This is because I apparently do not know how to count.
2) Somehow the front of the project became the back a little ways in (see bottom of photo).
3) Those holes. Ack. I managed to stop doing that about halfway through.
4) Abrupt gauge change a little over halfway through. I think that was the point where my purl stitches stopped being quite so sloppy.

(With regard to general inability to count, when I went to proofread this I noticed that list up there was numbered 1, 2, 2, 3. I am not kidding.)

But I finished it, and I think I can knit now. I thought I could before, kinda, but I found out how mistaken I was while I was doing this.

Oh, and binding off. Should I be using a bigger needle to bind off? It was like I was strangling the poor thing to death, and it’s really, really tight at the top edge.
