The Pink Thing
I know I have talked about it enough. So here it is finally.
THE PINK THING
Here is a close up:
I especially like the wicked witch head.
This "thing" is not really a scarf, its a thing! Well its a shawl too. I really like to knit lace. I am not brave enough yet to try a lacy shawl yet. I will admit though a love/hate relationship with lace, I love it when I first start, then I make a mistake, hate it, fix mistake and end up with a pink thing. Anyone who has made a mistake while knitting lace will know when you make a mistake, it's not that easy to fix it! Especially if you have dropped one of your yarn overs. Oiy!

i hear ya about lace... i started a Rebecca pattern for a lacy coat, it ended up being a UFO because i made a mistake (but i blame the pattern text of course) and it was impossible to fix because ripping out rows of Soft Kid yarn is nearly impossible!!!
i love your lacy "thing" though.. it looks warm for the cold weather and i can picture you wrapping yourself with it at the beach as well... under an umbrella, to keep the pasty look ;-) ~missa

That's a beautiful pink thing. :)
Lace can be bothersome. I often use "lifelines" if I don't think I can tink back before the mistake.
