6/22/10: Cast on on the bus going from work to dance class :D Have completed rows 1 to 24 of ChartA. Will try to get pic up tomorrow :)
6/23/10: Stopped at GW this morning & bought a bamboo circ as the sts kept trying to jump off the aluminum one I started with. Yarn seems a bit more under control now :)
7/03/10: Am nearly finished chart A :) I’m considering doing 2 reps of chart B, as I have more than enough yarn. We shall see :)
7/05/10: Joined in 2nd ball at start of Chart B row 25. Definately enough yarn to 2 reps of chart B!
7/06/10: 2 new pics up today :) Taken at knit-night last night.
7/12/10: Started chart C ie edging yesterday coming home from Moose Jaw. Not too much to go :)
7/19/10: Got half way through edging & realized 1) I made a fairly large mistake in the final section of chart B & 2) I was going to run out of yarn. So now I need to work up the nerve to frog back to the end of the first rep of chart B & go straight to the edging.
7/27/10: I frogged back on Saturday! I have just passed the spine, so am a touch over half done the edging :) I’m really loving this pattern :)
7/30/10: I have 5 points left!!!!!! Will be done later today or early tomorrow. Then I need to find a safe place for blocking…
8/02/10: Finished!!! Got knitting done tonight at knit-night :D Still need to block, but will worry about that later.
