Dewdrop’s reflections

So I was taking all these pictures to post about my Valentine’s Day project and decided I should take some knitting pictures as well. I took a picture of the dishcloth I made my Grandma Sharon for her birthday.

(I actually took many, but this is the only one that I could get to turn out). I took a picture of the Falling in Love scarf I’m knitting.

I’m loving it. First time knitting with Lorna’s Laces and its soooo squishy. It makes me happy. Then I went to take a picture of the right front of the Slouchy Cardigan (from this book).

As I was pulling it into place to show the little pointy bit at the bottom corner, it started to unravel.

What the heck! I pulled a little more and some more unraveled.

Finally, I ended up pulling out the whole second bind off section. I have no idea what I did. Maybe I dropped a stitch. Maybe I did the bind off incorrectly. Whatever, now I have to frog the entire six inches and start over. Great. Next post will be happy Valentine’s stuff, not bitter, ranting, knitting stuff.  Freakin’ knitting.

I’m having a hard time getting into the swing of this blog thing. I don’t have much going on in my life right now to post about. I do have knitting updates, though.

First off, a Koolhaas update. This

will be frogged. I hate how it is turning out, all stripey and stuff. It is not what I imagined at all. This yarn is driving me crazy. I think I’m going to set it aside for a while and maybe find a scarf pattern that will work for it later.

On a happier note.

This is the beginning of my first sock. I’m taking a class at Unraveled and I’m pretty excited. I’ve wanted to learn for a long time but haven’t been able to work out a class until now. Oh yeah, apparently knitting Koolhaas made me forget how to knit normally because I am now having a hard time not knitting through the back loops.

While I was at Unraveled I dug through their new Koigu shipment to find yarn for the Chevron scarf. I bought the purple and the pink from a fellow Raveler but didn’t like how they looked together.

I’m hoping these work. I’m also hoping I start thinking of better things to write in the blog. I’ve never been good at writing in my journal and I’m hoping this will help me chill out and just write what’s in my head (which may not be a good thing!). We’ll see.

Man, my pictures are looking funny. I’ll fix those later.

ETA: Pictures fixed, but still too big.
