Notes

12/06/2012 -- I’m starting the shawlette that my daughter requested. When she was here for Thanksgiving, we made a trip to my LYS and she picked out the yarn.

12/15/2012 -- Flying with out a parachute does not work well for me. I noticed a weird stitch waaaaay back at the beginning and realized that I had added an accidental yarn over and as I thought that I was perfect (eh-hem) I did not bother counting the stitches until I got close to the end. So this puppy got frogged yesterday and I will be starting over, as soon as the sting of my stupidity stops smarting. Ouch.

12/21/2012 -- I don’t know why this pattern is giving me such fits!? I don’t remember having any problems with it when I was working on my last one. I am almost to the point of starting the lace. I first thought that all the stocking stitching at the beginning of the pattern was going to be easy. But I think that I get lulled into a daze while knitting and I keep blowing past the center spine and missing the yarn-overs.

01/08/2012 -- After a couple of weeks away from this project (and a handful of other projects later), I have finally gotten back to this shawlette. I am starting the lace portion which means I am about 1/2 way done.

01/15/2012 -- I am down to one set of leaves left to do.

01/19/2013 -- row 34 of lace done with size US 9 (I couldn’t find my size 8) and bind off done with 10.5 US.
