i am starting to regret casting this project on 2mm needles 🥹 the knitting and purling of two colors alternately is straining my hands every session! i don't even know if it fits me, i think i should've sized up since i used needles that are smaller than suggested. i mean, the gauge swatch proved it to be suitable, but who knows? i also made a tiny mistake on one row. it's small but noticeable. alas, i'm starting to doubt myself! i'm not giving up on this, though. along the way, i'm realizing that i now have more confidence in comitting to more long-term such as this and there's been less instances of me having to redo my stitches. (no frogging yet, which i hope i shall never have to do on this one ever!) i'm only a few more centimeters until the needed length! i can't wait to be done with the waistband so i can finally knit the stained-glass design!
