As I go along my merry knitting way I usually am able to think of myself as having some amount of knitting mojo. However, there are a few techniques that I still need to look at step-by-step pictures in order to get them right and not end up with a hot mess.
As you can see (as pointed to by the red arrow) I still cannot do a provisional cast on with any sort of consistency. Yes, I've been knitting for over 20 years. Apparently, that has no relationship to my ability to work a provisional cast on successfully.
Sometimes it works great, and sometimes I have to cut the "supposedly" provisional yarn out piece by piece.
And the other part is that when I have to take out the provisional yarn with scissors it's not just one little snip with the scissors here or there. Oh no, it's more on the lines of a Gordian Knot. In the picture, you can't see the other side, but I actually had to cut the gray yarn twice for each blue yarn loop. How is that even possible?
