Success!

You will all be happy to hear that it may have taken a few tries.

(it was five)

And there may or may not have been a bit of swearing.

(there was)

And I may or may not have sent the children to bed early so they would stop talking to me while I was counting.

(I totally did that)

(and I'm not ashamed)

But I have successfully cast on all 311 stitches

Look at those pretty pretty stitch marker.  I love using beautiful tools. 

(I'm shallow like that)

Time to knit a Tardis chart!
