Progress = not hulking out of the knitting.

Yesterday I managed to finish the ribbing and seam up the major body piece of the Lacy Hug Me Tight. I'm awfully glad that I put safety pins on the sides at the recommended measurements before I seamed the sides up, because otherwise I would have been hulking out of the arm holes with my massive guns. err...or maybe just cutting off the circulation to my tiny little wimpy guns, but whatever :) Same difference.

Now, its on to figuring out just how to make the lace pattern work and make sense to my wonky lefty style of knitting. I know I need to alter the stiches in some way, but I haven't figured it out just yet...I tried the first repeat three different times last night, and I kept ending up with an extra stitch so I'm obviously making a mistake (or twelve) somewhere. I'm sure I'll get it if I fiddle with it enough. Plus, if I don't get it exactly right, as long as it looks good I'm not going to sweat it. Pretty will win over perfect.

Boy howdy I'm glad its Friday! I'm totally ready for the weekend. I'm thinking the marathon of lace knitting will commence. I'll also pull out the old digital camera so I can post a few pics of the joys and horrors of me attempting to knit this trim. Whee!
