before a fall….or in this case before I spent 3 days trying to figure out what in the heck I was doing because it sure as frack wasn’t reading the chart (you know, from the pattern I thought was pretty easy).

One of my sweet friends suggested that maybe there was an error with the pattern. Sure, an error where the ninth time you read a chart, suddenly, there’s an error? Yea, that’s probably it.

By the time I quit diagnosing, picking up stitches, dropping stitches, picking up different stitches, being unappy with how the lace looked and sucked it up and unknit all the way back (6 rows) to the spot where I lost all reason, several days had passed. This is the point where I told myself that I’m 50% process knitter and unknitting is sort of the same as knitting. I think we all know it’s not.


I was finally able to finish the first sock and am working on the second one….and you can bet your sweet arse I’m paying attention to the chart.

Ps. To see what other folks are working on, go check out Tami’s Amis.

It seems I neglected to add the photos of the new yarn I got. I didn’t mean to be such a selfish cow. Here you go!

Already got the ball band off the Berroco to see how it would knit up.
hint: It is self-striping, so the German Twisted Cast On I prefer jacked up the striping and I ripped it out. Hopefully, a little Knitted Cast On action will set things to rights.

This one’s for Hunter, who seems to have infected me with her love of orange.
