Does this happen to only me?
Ok, so I am starting a new project. A shawl. An Evelyn Clark shawl because she is brilliant and designs really great patterns.
So I am cruising along, right?
I am on the last freakin' repeat and I decide to actually count my stitches cause hey, you never know....
And I am one stitch off. ONE STITCH!!!! Do you think I can find that stitch? Nope. And guess what? I pulled out my life line! Am I a dork or what? So I tink back 10 ROWS people! It's a good thing I am a patient person.
So now I am back on track. On the last repeat before the border. Life line is in.
Here is a little detail shot (above) And no that isn't my hairy leg. I think it's a cat hair. I suppose I should tell you that this is the Shetland Triangle Shawl from "Wrap Style". I am using Classic Elite Alpaca/Silk. The yardage is only 463 yards, but I am thinking I will have some left over
Yikes! That's a lot! Anyway.... Lemon, I hope you love this shawl. It will look a lot prettier when it's blocked.

At the last row is when it's time to do a discreet K2tog (and hope it's not noticed).

You are a better woman than me. When I dropped a stitch on my Ice Queen, I just found it and sewed it secure. I can't wait to see the shawl finished! It's lovely!

Oy! That's so frustrating! I do love that shawl pattern though - I get all entranced with the the circular thingy going on.
