Jul. 15th, 2007 08:52 pmso this is what the shawl looks like now:
(see - i use my exercise ball!)
ick - every time i look at the holes in the center, they look uglier. i keep telling myself a) they will even out when i block it and b) you fold the shawl in half to wear it, and those can go on the underside. lots of people on the knitting site keep talking about how many rows they've frogged, and how many times they've restarted it - guess i'm not a "real" knitter, because i'm damned if i'm going to rip all this out - i made two starts, and that's enough. besides, i tell myself this way, if anyone takes my shawl, i will be able to identify it, because of the ugly center.
i blame poor fred (as many of you reading this may now think of him) for the bad start, as he was determined to give me his attentions while i did it. in my defense, i now present (for those of you with the interest and the bandwidth)
angelina is not terribly interested in knitting - which is good, because she is of the let's-see-how-fast-i-can-destroy-this school. ("this"==needles, yarn, project, whatever.)
and after all that, i didn't get too much knitting done today - ended up reorganizing the patio instead (necessitating much pruning and thinning). maybe i'll get home early enough some days this week to knit out there....
