Well, the boy is out of town and it's making for some ka-razy knitting time!
Now if only I could stop needing to frog every stitch I make I'd be in business. The only frog free knitting project (and please save me from jinxing myself by saying this...are my toe up socks).
I've tried and tried to work on some lace but for some god forsaken reason I am getting totally stuck on particular repeats and boy howdy! It makes a girl want to squeal.
I've life lined almost every single row for the past few on the Forest Canopy Shawl and still managed to need to rip back. It's getting to the point where you are willing to try almost anything just to get to the next repeat...if only...I could...make it...the next...seven rows...
Ooooohhh.....like maybe if I sit over here, or stand on my head, or recite the alphabet backwards (or, the most novel of all ideas- find the quietest, most well-lit distraction free room you can find...but that makes too much sense. ) Nah...bring on the knitting circus tricks! You really haven't lived till you've tried to knit lace on a unicycle *lol and at least if you frog it you have a really, really good reason.)
How bout this...Ever talk yourself into thinking that if you could only make it to the next repeat that somehow "the curse" would be lifted and all of a sudden your knitting would come flying off your needles with tremendous ease and speed? Like somehow I have convinced myself that if only I can make it past this point I would be able to finish this thing in no time (even though I only have about 8 more repeats of the exact same pattern rows that are causing me fits at the moment ). Brilliant thinking.
You know what they say about doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome?
Yeah, I thought so.
