Started my 3rd pineapple reticule today for jennylafleur that I owe her from doing my hair at Christmas. I am following the pattern I used for my first pineapple and MUCH preferred, but with the same thread and number of repeats as mandie_rw 's. But this time I went from the size 0 needles from Amanda's and used 000s. I'm really curious to see how it effects the over all size...

So yeah prepare for lots of pictures of slowly progressing pineapple knitting.

After koshka_the_cat talked me off a ledge, and the pineapple sat in the naughty pile a suitably long time I picked up the pineapple and tried again. Thank you for all of the constructive suggestions!!! I really appreciate them.

This time I downgraded the # of stitches I cast on to 260 and only beaded every other stitch (Per koshka_the_cat's recommendation).  She had the smarts to look at the original I was copying, and oh look it's only beaded every other *headdesk* someday I'll learn. I also switched the beads from the short tail end to the ball end. I had read online that the beads went on the short one which patently did not work for me.

So take two. I got it all cast on, I even managed to knit four rows and see the pattern develop! I was so pleased....until I realised that it was twisted somehow when I connected the circle. Despite futzing with it for 30 min trying to make sure it wasn't. I seem to have this issue a lot when knitting in the round. So that was frogged.
