Well, this week, I decided to take my knitting to another level and try something I hadn't before - a lace pattern. I swear. I ripped this out 5 times yesterday and restarted. I think the difficult thing about it is what makes it so completely cool - the fact that the pattern creates diagonal stripes running through the piece. And at first I really couldn't see what they were talking about when they said that the repetition became mesmerizing, but as I caught on and saw the piece take shape, I finally understood and didn't want to put it down!
Ok. It's not perfect - I'll freely admit that, but I'm totally enjoying working on it! And I think that one hitch you see in the middle portion has to do with the fact that I ripped a few rows out right at that point instead of scrapping the entire thing! lol {That was after the previous 5 times starting over!}
Happy Monday all!!
