The sun is out and it is a beautiful morning which is a good thing since there has been a lot of unraveling this week! I posted on Monday about ripping out the socks I had started. And now I have what I am calling "a lack of cowl."
What had been a gorgeous start to a lovely cowl is no more. I had finished the seed stitch border and started into the lace work. On row 4 (I think) of the lace work I somehow ended up with two stitches too many. I started to tink back, but the entire row was messed up in so many places...not sure what I was doing!
That project plus a new sock project (not started yet) are in the bag I brought to work, but based on the e-mails I've already had today, it appears that I will not be taking a lunch hour. Another busy day at work...at least the day should fly by!
I did finish Warlight several days ago and enjoyed it. I give it 4 stars. The first half kind of dragged/got boring for me, but I really liked the second half. I started To The Bright Edge of the World the other night and so far, so good!
Joining Kat and friends for Unraveled Wednesday. What are you up to?
I hope your "lack of a cowl" is soon transformed to "beautiful cowl cast on and pattern memorized"!
ReplyDeleteOh I'm sorry about the unraveling, but trust the do-overs will put you back on track! I am close to getting Warlight from the library and look forward to it. and I predict you will LOVE Bright Edge ... it's one of my favorites!
ReplyDeletealthough it is always very sad to have to rip out a project, isn’t the act of knitting what we are supposed to enjoy? I have to tell myself that every time I rip something out! Ha ha! I hope you end up getting a nice lunch hour and are able to get a good start a new project. Blessings, Betsy
ReplyDeleteOh, no....but sometimes you gotta rip when you gotta rip.
ReplyDeleteIt's a cool morning (18°), but the sun is shining and the sky is clear. It's going to be a beautiful day!
ReplyDeleteToo bad about the frogging but it happens especially when you start a lace project!
ReplyDeleteBetter that you discovered the problem now than later. Sorry for the need to restart; I'm sure you'll get it straightened out! Knock those emails out and then on oyur break, enjoy your new read!
ReplyDeleteCheers~
Unraveling can lead to lovely things although sometimes it feels painful. But it will become as it is meant to be!!!! And all your knitting is so lovely
ReplyDeleteOh no! I hate it when that happens.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to find the motivation to work on my socks until I have to leave for French class tonight.
I hate when "lack of cowl" happens! I hope you'll have time to remedy that soon! I felt the same way you did about Warlight . . . loved the 2nd half, though the 1st half was a slog. (Glad I kept on with it, though.) To The Bright Edge of the World is a favorite of mine. XO
ReplyDeleteWell.. we all have a project that just doesn't do it for us and then it's time to pull it out and roll it up. I need a new project, myself. I'm still working on my Woodland blanket but I need a change of pace. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
ReplyDeleteOh, bother! Well, best to just Start Fresh and teach it Who's Boss from the get-go. I've got two projects thisclose to finishes and then can send four off to Operation Gratitude. I wish I would hurry up. ;-)
ReplyDeletebummer about ripping out knitting, by it is a reality for knitters. Can't wait to see what you do decide to knit up! The yarn is pretty :)
