This past Friday, I found myself finished with work early! On the rare occurrence that this actually happens, I have to seize the opportunity and walk right out the door. So I did. But I really didn't want to go home. Instead, I stopped by the new neighborhood restaurant and got some knitting done. I've decided that this is the absolute best way to knit!

Yes, that's Chocolate coconut almond Bread Pudding! | | | |

Then I got into a hiccup...As I muddled my way through Chart 4, I found a bobble that was only half-way done in a previous row. What? How could that be? I couldn't think of any way to fix it. I couldn't just leave it, and I decided that the recipient of the shawl is worthy of perfection. After ripping a row and a half, I had some issues. Namely, a dropped stitch or two. After struggling for awhile and threatening my husband's life (I was in the middle of picking up live stitches and he decided it was a good time to pester me) I got back on track. I'm now finished with chart 4 and have effortlessly moved onto the knitted edging. I think before it's all finished, I'll need some more Bread Pudding!

awesome post, Kelly! you and Kelli would get along so well...I actually thought this was her post since I can totally see her popping into a restaurant and having a nibble and knitting in the middle of the dinner hour
ReplyDeleteand bread pudding, I've never had it but now that I see a picture of it, it's on my list ;)
the shawl is looking wonderful ~ good job getting the kinks straightened out
and good luck with the border ~ it's much easier than you would think but it goes on and on forever (and word to the wise, try casting on with the WS of your knitting facing you ~ otherwise, your border will get attached backwards!)

Thanks gals! I actually started the border last night and I've got two repeats done. I casted on with the RS facing me and I didn't have any problems! Yay!
