{Pattern: Traveling Woman, found here}
*sigh* still in progress. {Here’s my project page on ravelry} I finished the stockinette portion a few days ago and had started on the lace part. Um, then around row 5 of the lace, I was way off the stitch count.
I tried to un-knit to my mistake point, but that didn’t work. (As a side note, I learned from the inter-web that the knitting term for un-knitting is tink. As in knit backwards. Who knew?) I had inserted a lifeline, which is the green embroidery thread in the photo. BUT the lifeline threaded itself partway out while knitting. So much for the lifeline, eh?
I debated ripping the entire thing out. (ripping = frogging according to the inter-web. as in ‘rip-it, rip-it’. Who knew?) I ended up inserting the needle along the lifeline, winging it where there was no thread, and frogged (ha!) to the needles. Only losing an evening of knitting instead of 2 weeks worth.
Its not perfect, and I’m ok with that. The yarn is lovely. The pattern is fun. I’m enjoying it.
