I finished the hat up this weekend, so I am on to a new project. It’s getting too warm to think of sweaters, so after perusing the back issues of Knitty I settled on the Cleo halter top.
Next stop? The Cozy Ewe. It is a mix of dangerous and convenient to have a yarn shop near my work. Becky and I found two really nice colors to double-strand for this project, and I was off to my Craft Night lickety-split.
I didn’t make as much progress as I wanted to because I had to wind the skeins into balls, and one skein I royally hosed and tangled beyond belief. It took over an hour and a half to untangle! Kim got frustrated with watching me play with it, so she took it to untangle after she showed me the correct way to unleash the skein for winding. I got the two final balls wound in less time than it took her to untangle the messed up one.
The good news is that I was finally able to get started on the pattern, and it is looking gorgeous after only five rows!
The bad news is that I knitted the incorrect row on the third and need to unravel to that point and pretty much start over again. At least I caught the error!
This is the first time I am knitting something that is not scarf, socks, or washcloth, so it is definitely a challenge.
