Day Thirty-One

I have got to get this figured out.  If I don't, my brain will explode.  If that happens, I'll wind up taking the whole border out AGAIN! and starting it all over again.  Heaven help me!

Day Thirty

WOW! This is hard.  Every time I start a new round, it takes me a while to get it figured out.  Once again I find myself completely confused by this project.  When I went back to redo the round that confused me last night, I got it straightened out. Then I got a couple of rounds done and then came up against another confusing one.  So, I've put it away for the night and hope with fresh eyes and brain tomorrow, I can get it done.  Nevertheless, I'm still enjoying the process.  I just wish I could spend more time on it without getting so confused I have to stop.

Anyway, I spent about three and a half hours on it today, but I am not counting all that time because some of it was trying to figure it out and ultimately unknitting back to the start of the round.

Day Twenty-Nine

I came to a difficult point last night around seven.  The round I was working on just didn't seem to come together.  So I took all that round out and put it away.  Now, I'm procrastinating getting it out again because I'm not sure how to handle it.  But, I've got to see what I can do.  I'll keep you posted.

Day Twenty-Nine knitting time...1.5 hours

Day Twenty-Eight

I spent most of yesterday working on crocheted Easter eggs for two of my grandchildren.  This was at the request of my daughter.  After I finished six eggs, I was able to work on the shawl.

Day Twenty-Six

I'm ba-ack!

Had a wonderful trip to Milwaukee to spend time with Rebekah's wonderful family.

Back at home nursing a bum knee.  The upside is that it gives me more time to knit as I am trying to stay off of it.

Day Twenty-Six was yesterday.

Day Twenty-Five

Well, I am almost back to the same point where I discovered my big goof and had to start the border all over again.  It's going pretty well.  But, I am taking a break while I go visit Rebekah's family for about a week.
