Starting Again....
I was beginning to see the end of this cowl that has been taking me a long time to knit. I started it last January and then it hibernated for about 8 months because I wanted to make other things. It's not a difficult stitch pattern, but it's one that I can't easily navigate by eye. I need to know which round I'm on and even though it seems like I should be able to "read" my stitches, with this pattern I just can't. It's a herringbone pattern and a silk blend yarn. When it's finished it will be heaven. I started having visions of binding off and then I dropped a stitch and couldn't recover. It was sad. In other news. I finished a scarf for Kid 2's teacher for Christmas. I'm on a roll with Christmas gifts this year! It was yarn that I bought from the Wisconsin State Fair and I always wanted to try one of those balls that is white in the middle and dark on the outside. Turns out, the result is just okay.
