I finished one chart knitting back in mirror fashion using Steph's video and a couple of others just to learn how to knit backwards continental style as I only knew how to do it with flicking.

It has been an education in how much I do without thinking. Concentrating on the actual movements made me lose track of the mirroring around the center and I've had to rip back multiple?half rows to correct that. Now I'm constantly orienting myself with respect to the edge or the center. Fortunately I think there are only two charts that still?have orientation left to do. The rest are symmetrical or easy.

The other problem I ran into is that the two colors of Bearfoot that are used in this chart have a brown-ish tinge that is very close in both the purple and the gold. At times these are being used at the same time so trying to figure out if I used the right yarn requires good light and a close-up view. If they were identical, it wouldn't be a problem. But being close? but not identical means that I worry the difference will show in certain lights. Anyway that problem is gone. The rest of the colors are distinct enough, I think.

I'm enjoying it though it is slow going and stresses my hands so I have to knit in small pieces. I try to do a half row at a time.
