From there it was completely downhill. I made some many beginner errors of being off, I spent a great deal of time cutting out the stitching, restitching, only to find out I was still off.
It's as if, somehow during the hiatus, I forgot how to count and had no spacial ability to see I was off.
I said it before and I'll say it again that sometimes the easiest charts are the same ones I have more problems with. Not to be deterred, (must be that German ancestry stubborness), I finally whipped out the red hand quilting thread and ran some graph lines.
And from there, I was off to the races! Page one is almost completely finished. Happy with that progress considering I didn't have much stitching time, and I spent a lot of that time as stated before, stitching, ripping out, restitching, ripping out again. If I didn't have that, I may have been well into page two. But I prefer to have glass half full of what I did complete!
Status on the baby blanket! Not good! I full intended to post a picture of that as well. Except I found I somehow added 2 stitches that weren't supposed to be there. Once again spent much time ripping out row upon row of knitting. So the only thing I could share would be a pile of lose yarn! The joys of crafting!
I suppose I could have just knitted several stitches together to get the count corrected, but I would know. I'll just have to knit faster to recoup. Good thing the baby isn't due till December. Here's a good laugh - this baby blanket is supposed to be able to be completed in 8 hours. I suppose there are people out there that could do it, but it isn't me!
Until next week happy stitching!!!!!
Sorry your Tropical Quaker was giving you problems, Pam! Here is to smooth stitching here on out.
