This project is driving me mad.  I like the end result which is why I bought the yarn and pattern.  I hate the yarn and needles.  For the second time now I have lost an end stitch.  I have already  pulled the whole thing out and started over once.  I am trying to tink back since it's an edge stitch and it wasn't that far back but it seems to keep ( Read more... )

So I am knitting a beautiful shawl.  I knew it would be.  Seeing the shop model I thought it looked like waves so I bought a variegated ribbon yarn called Ocean and a mohair/silk blend in Aqua.  At repeat 2 Dominic said it was beautiful, just because he saw me knitting it, I didn't ask for his opinion.  As I knit farther and farther along I can see ( Read more... )

I was thinking.  I needed to make my thankful post and was trying to decide what I was more grateful for.  Then a thought occurred to me, I don't have to pick just one.  Duh!  I know right. So I am just going to start doing just that.  Some days I really struggle to think of one others I have more than one so ( Read more... )
