WIP-it Wednesday...
...I finally feel well enough to review what's in the rotation list.
As I mentioned in my last post, I have placed Earthdancer into the rotation. I started stitching this yesterday.
I haven't gotten very far yet, but at least there is some progress!
I pretty much started over again with the Saratoga Calypso Shawl (knitting) [Ravelry]. I had some issues at the beginning of the project - something was off with the lace.(Note to self: Never do another project that starts with the lace edging.) I frogged it and started again. Things were going very well until row 8. No matter how careful I am with counting the stitches for the repeats, I'm off by one stitch somewhere.
Clearly, I cannot use this shawl as my Craft Coffee project. Given the bad lighting in the coffee shop and the amount of attention the shawl requires, I need to find something else to work on during knit night. My knitting friend recommended something that was easier to knit. We discussed the possibility of a cardigan with no buttonholes. I researched a bunch of patterns on Ravelry and settled on one. I want to get a good jump on the Be My Baby WIP before I start the sweater.

WIPs Roll Call
Worked On:
- Be My Baby for My Baby (knitting) [Ravelry]
Reorienting myself to where I left off. - Earthdancer (cross stitch)
Working on the center section of the design. - Saratoga Calypso Shawl (knitting) [Ravelry]
Frogged all the way back to the cast-on. Finished row 8 and started row 9. Unfortunately, there's something wrong with row 9. Unfortunately, it's not until you've completed the row of 389 stitches that it becomes apparent.
