but how cute is this lady? Also it would make sort of a neat whatever a day project, and then at the end you have a blanket. I don’t know why but I imagine it would be so heavy but also SO WARM.

So my last post is extra hilarious. GOOD JOB TAMS!

P.S. Someone please take this song away from me. I have listened to it at least thirty times today.

P.P.S. The reason I figured it out is because Jersey Shore was trending on Twitter and I was like whoa did it start today? Why would it be on a Wednesday. I am a champion of life.

K guys I am not even going to pretend that this is going to be a regular feature. That is what pro bloggers do but I am too full of ADD for that kind of thing. Plus I’ve been reading the Dexter books and it has a lot of alliteration and it is super spectacularly stupendously vexing (sorry no s words fit). So let’s not call this Work in Progress Wednesday or anything too clever.

Let’s call this a sweater I started last year but then got too busy to finish and put away for almost a year.

It’s the February Lady sweater, and it is kind of killing me. I was knitting away last night when I noticed a weird yarn loop and discovered that actually I had dropped a stitch somewhere back in garter stitch town without noticing and just kept on plugging away at it. (You can probably tell from the scribbles that this is not the first screw up I’ve made.)

I’ve isolated the problem though and hopefully Val will show me how to surgery this back in. I know how to pick up a dropped stitch by going back in time but not when going back in time involves undoing lace patterns. She asked me how I managed to keep the lace pattern correct and I had to admit that I had added some stitches here and there because I needed the right number. Oops.

The best part is I don’t have enough yarn to finish it. I’ve ordered more online (I’m using Cascade Eco+) but it’s a different dye lot so I’m hoping it’s not weird. If it is, I’ll just chuck it in a dye bath.
