Fixing the Stash

Well, it's time I organised the stash. It's been sitting in a corner for far too long.   I've completed steps 1 and 2. When completed, the yarn will be organised and accessible instead of sitting in a giant mountain in the corner of my living room.

Small Frustrations

So, I had to frog all of the Pretty Vest Thing I've been working on, except the first two rows. It turns out that I've been doing my ssk incorrectly. Entirely possible, considering I've been learning how to do everything out of a book, and I didn't see the picture correctly. I'm so glad I go to a SnB every two weeks. I love Linda. She's too awesome.

It also turns out that I was doing yok1 instead of just yo. Now I know better there, too.

Anyway, now that I've correctly done the ssk, the eyelets in my lace rows look amazing. I'm feeling a lot more confident over how it's turning out than I was before. I'd rather frog the entire thing than work the entire thing with the knowledge in the back of my head that I did it wrong. I'd never wear it. It's the OCD in me.

Anyway, I'm continuing on feeling so much better about the entire project.

Been awhile since I've posted

Making good progress on the Kat bag. I WAS making good progress on Hong's hat, but I keep effing it up somehow. I'm not sure what's wrong.

I picked up some more Tussocks yarn for Hong's hat, because it became apparent that I didn't have enough.

Had a Ravelry friend over last night for the Stitch 'n Swim, although we didn't do any swimming because she was late. Instead, we chatted and knitted. It was quite nice. I hope more people start coming out on Thursdays.
