Worked a few rows today and didn’t need to tear anything out. That’s a progress!
Been dreaming about knitting a shawl. And this one is finally starting to take shape. There is such a satisfaction and enjoyment in watching the lace pattern develop. My first shawl and I’m still learning to read the chart but it’s always a wonder how the k2tog and p2tog, and yarn overs can produce such a delicate looking piece of art.
Started on the chart portion of the Shetland Shawl from row 6. Then struggled between 6 and 8 a couple of time, finally realized that on the odd rows you read backwards on the chart. ha. What a discovery! Should have figured that one out in the beginning. But it was too hard to fix problems with a lace pattern, I simply tore everything out and started over again. I have more patience than I realize with knitting. I never minded tearing things out and restarting a project so far. I just figure it’s a learning process, my motivation is still high up there. I think I made it to row 15 and had to stop around 11:30 and went to bed. Darn, this work thing is really getting in the way.
