And that little nubbin looked like this when it appeared on my old green blog last month.
So, what ever happened to that nubbin?
That innocent looking nubbin was actually a relentless instrument of torture for me for most of the month of April. I knitted along, and got as far as the 53rd row …a few times.
In fact, I know that I started it over from it’s very complicated provisional cast-on beginning… at least eleven times. I think I almost cried over it while trying to correct my mistakes in the car (with Jon driving) on Good Friday. I got so tangled up in a series of mistakes while I was knitting in Ohio two weeks ago, I had to start all over again, AGAIN.
A small voice whispered to me that perhaps I was in over my head, but I hunkered down over that orange yarn snarling “I Am Not!”
And then I remembered that knitting is supposed to be pleasant and restful and soothing and creative. Knitting should not feel like going to war.
So I started over with an easier pattern and some fresh yarn, and here is what I have achieved in six days:
This is the Modest Lace Shawl , which you can check out for yourself if you click that link, and which I have made before. But this time I’m using much finer wool on size 3.25 needles (I think that pattern recommends something like size 4), so it’s going to take twice as much time to get it done. But it does look nice in this finer gauge. I think I am about 30% done here, and it’s pretty gratifying to see it getting bigger and better every day. As I write this, I am about to get the tea ready for knitting night, my knitting neighbors are on their way over!
Meanwhile, here is the latest on the orange Angel Lace Shawl:
I will return to it once I finish the Modest Lace one, and hopefully I will have learned something along the way about keeping a better count of my stitches and not getting jumbled up. If anyone ever reads this and has any good suggestions for how to place markers in this piece of work, I am all ears.
Hi there would you mind stating which blog platform you’re working with?
I’m going to start my own blog soon but I’m having a hard time choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique.
P.S My apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!
Hello just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your content seem to be running off the screen in Firefox.
I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with browser compatibility but
I figured I’d post to let you know. The style
and design look great though! Hope you get the issue resolved soon. Thanks
I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own weblog and was wondering what all is required to get setup?
I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a
pretty penny? I’m not very internet smart so I’m not 100% certain. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
