The "Duh" Moments hit most unexpectedly. While in the middle of the row. When someone calls. When you're watching the news. Or while you are ripping out a project to fix the same mistake you've made 3 times already.
"Duh" 1 - While counting the 5 stitches at the start of the 40th row on the on Wonderful Wallaby..."duh" you have stitch markers - use them and there is no more counting the 5 stitches at the beginning and ending of each row.
"Duh" 2 - Can't read the chart for colorwork? Ummm - enlarge the graph on your 3-in-1-printer. See that was easy!
"Duh" 3 - If at 1st - 10th or even the 15th time you've cast-on and work on a project and no matter how you read the pattern there is a definite mistake - "duh" the pattern has a mistake and it's not your knitting!
"Duh" 4 - Post-it notes were made for a reason. You have them in your knitting kit. You could place the Post-it where you stopped in the pattern or write a quick note as to where you're at. Trusting your memory just isn't gonna work when the grand kids, the boy, dogs, goats or others need your attention and it's days before you pick the project back up to work on it.
"Duh" 5 - Getting gauge? NO? Did ya ever think to go up or down a needle size?
"Duh" 6 - No matter what: you'll get a smack in the back of your head and many more "duhs" while working with fiber!
