Back at 8% that is!! I finally got back to where I was on the Peacock Shawl. Last night, or should I say this morning, I was at the every end of the row I had been on when I ripped back and found a funny looking stitch. It was the middle st of the 3 garter sts at the end of the row. I attempted to fix it, and the whole garter edge started to disembowel for several rows! Eeeeeeeeeek! You know how hard it is to fix the end of a row when it has unravelled! There I am at 1:30 a.m. trying to salvage the shawl so I would not have to rip back — again — to my lifeline! I managed to do it but I’m kind of afraid to peek at it today ;).
Here’s something interesting. Have any of you done this before or seen it done? I think it could be a great idea.Â
I found it on Nicole’s blog, All Buttoned Up. It sounds like a number of people have done this with books they really “use,” like Sensational Socks, etc. I think it has potential.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the Knitting Mothers out there!!
Maybe your kidlets have actually said this!
I love that card and have given it to several people. I think that’s what my teenage son thinks every time he sees me clacking away with my needles!

Thanks so much for that great idea re binding the books!! FIrst thing I thought when I saw my BGW Treasury books was it would be nice if they were spiral bound. NEVER would have occurred to me to REBIND them!
Thanks!

My kids can’t say that! I’m waiting for grandchildren before I start knitting for others again 😉

Thankfully, it’s not just me who has issues with lace. I love it, but it can cause
major angst.
That card says it all, doesn’t it?

How often do you throw in a life line? It’s a pretty fussy thing to do, but I suppose its always a good idea.
Hope you enjoyed your Mother’s Day –

LOL! I don’t know about the kidlets, I know better than to knit for them. But when I opened my eyes this morning and looked at the clothes lying around my bedroom, there were three hand knit sweaters, two pairs of socks and a pair of fuzzy feet. And that’s just what wasn’t put away properly!

Do you sell the beaded amulet kits? or can you recommend where I should buy one?
