...it's just that kind of a day.
1. I hate wrap-and-turn short rows. They never look right. There are tons of short rows in the Rockefeller shawl [
Ravelry] so I have many opportunities to swear at wrap-and-turn. I tried the YO method of short rows, which didn't work because I'm using two distinct colors--the wrong color shows up in inconvenient places. At Craft Coffee last night, a knitter recommended trying the safety pin method for short rows. I'll give that a shot and see if it works.
2. The Cousteau hat looks great, but it's really boring! I have knit 2.25 inches of K3 P2...only 7.75 inches to go!
3. I finished the cross stitching portion of the mermaid! Hooray! I started the back-stitching after taking this picture last night:
4. Stitches West is in 5 weeks (give or take a day)! Really looking forward to my weaving class!
