The Best laid plans...

I'm going to be switching the blog over to different software, which makes me use a new address: http://web.me.com/nikandre/lanamfacio/blog/



It’s been a long and frustrating day, so this seems to be thematic. I had gotten so excited about the Nutria/Nubia. I was picturing it keeping me all nice and cozy, and worked busily on it as my mom drove us back from Rhinebeck. Then, disaster struck. IMG_6461 The right hand needle is pointing to the dropped stitch. I merrily started picking it up, weaving it back up through the garter. I then realized I’d shortrowed. To make a long story short, as Venus said to Aeneas, I ended up ripping out the six inches (full five percent!) I’d knit so happily. This is in timeout, and I’m working on my brown hoodless hoodie. It’s amazing how much more quickly progress becomes visible when one is working in worsted weight.
