The best way to knit...

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!

  1. 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

    and 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!)
