Frogged

Yeah. I can do the hard stuff too. Before Bricca could calcify into a UFO I ripped out that loose stitching. I decided to give the KPDreamz needles a second chance. It may not have been their slickness but my tired hands that caused all that sloppy stitching. And I'd really like to spend more time with these new needles. Not that there will be much knitting done today - it is Wednesday, and in the middle of October that means quarterly board meeting AND pre-school story hour day. 

And if there's time this evening I'll stop by the brand new wine shop in Tappahannock -



for their Wednesday afternoon wine tasting. Yum. They promise a Cabernet Sauvignon - and that's my current favorite wine.

Thought you'd like to see what the leaf border looks like ... before I rip it out. Yup. There are two tiny flaws right at the beginning - the sort of thing I notice but could make myself ignore except that last night I tried the sweater on and decided I want the body to be a few inches longer. How the sweater looks ON me is more important than how perfectly it is knitted. Still, since I won't even wear it if I don't like how it looks on, might as well fix the knitting error at the same time. So. Off comes this border - 2 more inches of sweater body will be knit and then the leaves shall return. But isn't it a pretty finish to a garment?
