I do this for fun, I really do
Am knitting 560 stitches in laceweight yarn onto the edge of a stole. In silk. (Silk, at least thin silk, tangles all by itself into impossible Gordian knots if you turn your back on it for a second. I didn't know this before I plunged into a project with it. Learning is fun and painful!)
Only halfway done and it took me two hours dear god in heaven make it stop please.
It's like something from Kafka crossed with Madame Defarge.
That said, I really wish I had a camera, because I am 75% done with this stole and it is gorgeous, if I do say so myself. It's the Print o' the Wave stole in topaz Handmaiden silk lace, which is a bright, saturated turquoise with subtle color variations. And it is soft and shiny and if my mother doesn't like it I will steal it for myself, I will.
Next project will be something nice and soothing that doesn't involve knitting onto a border.
