So....puzzles seem to be the thing these days.....you can tell the weather is chilly and it's not fun to play out of doors - On this particular day a couple more hands joined in the fun! I'm still amazed at the slight of hand!!! In a very short period of time the puzzle pieces found their way to their proper places and voila' ....finished!!!! Whew!!! Thank goodness we had a back up puzzle! This time one that's a bit more lively - at least with color :)
I was working on my "Simple Things" shawlette and realized I was not having very good luck with the y/o holes - what was suppose to be making a nice lacy rib up the middle of the shawlette looked more like an evil snake - taunting me and my poor knitting skills!!! I don't know why lacy knitting poses such a challenge to me. It is NOT difficult.....it is not a special skill - (unless you just can't do it....like myself) I frogged the entire project. Oh pickles!!!! Double pickles!!!! Part of the problem is my yarn over is right next to the stitch marker - it wants to move every time I knit on the other side of the marker - maybe I have read the pattern wrong. I don't think I have....hmmmmmm.....well - I decided that the color of the yarn was depressing me in any case. So I would recast the yarn into something else and opt for a brighter happier yarn for the shawlette :) I also changed the schematic of the y/o's - since I had difficulty maintaining them as they were written I decided to move them up a stitch. I'm finding both these simple changes (yarn color and y/o placement) has done my psyche wonders!!!! I can now move forward and hopefully be seen wearing my beautiful new shawlette in the very near future!!!
