Conceding defeat
Well, rats. There go my "olympic" dreams. I was trying to drop down to fix that hole today, and the yarn broke in an unfortunate place. So, I was like, ok, I'll just bite the bullet, frog down, join the yarn, and knit back up. But while frogging, I had another two breaks. I've decided that I don't want to give someone a shawl that is that prone to just breaking, so I'm scrapping that and will buy a better yarn. But not this week. I'm out of the race. Stupid Palette.
