Lifelines… Remember the Lifelines

March 8, 2011

I have frogged this shawl too many times.

I got smart and added a lifeline after the set up rows.  Which came in handy when I screwed up row 5 of the body pattern.  Argh.

So far though, its coming along nicely.  I should knit more often, or at least not wait 3 months in between projects.  A lot of the mistakes I made I shouldn’t have (don’t we all say that though?), but now that I’ve been at it for a week or so, its knitting up nice and quick.

I’m not sure how many pattern repeats I’m going to do because I only have one skein of this yarn.  I bought it from a private seller on etsy months ago, and she doesn’t have any more in this colorway.

::The Name::

Five Baht Elephant. My mother is from Thailand, where elephants are royal animals. Growing up Mom would tell us to save our pennies, "in case a man came to our door selling elephants." At the time we thought it was the most absurd thing ever. Now I realize it was the Thai version of saving for a rainy day. Lets hope that we can buy an elephant for only five baht!
