Yes please, I am running for President...Hi Melanie! Yes please, I am running for President of the I'm Behind on the MKAL But That's Life Club. ;-) I'm still on clue 3. I took a break to work on a few gifts, because frankly, I needed a respite. I was feeling all stressy about it, and it wasn't fun anymore, which is defeating the purpose. I picked it back up last night and got about 10 rows knit, which felt good. I'm still VERY much mired in clue 3, no end in sight, but I feel better knowing that I don't have a self imposed "deadline" anymore. <br /><br />I agree about the mistake. No one will ever know! I had a nasty one in the lace of last year's DA shawl, and now even I can't find it anymore! It'll be totally fine.

I ...I too am behind and will have to live with it. I was hoping that I would be able to keep up but part of me knew I'd fall behind. Should we start a I'm behind on the MKAL but that's life club? <br /><br />I was hoping to start clue 3 this weekend but that didn't happen. However clue 2 is finished. I find myself counting and recounting the number of stitches in each section. If I had the right number of stitches in a pattern row, how do I end up with less stitches on a knit row? And it doesn't always seem to be a dropped yarn over. I've gone back a few times but more often I've been figuring out where I could best pick up a stitch. One of my diamonds isn't quite as diamond shaped as the others but I don't think most people will be able to tell when all is said and done. Non-knitters just seem amazed at knitted garments and knitters understand all to well "design features". So that's what I counting on as I keep plugging along.<br /><br />Here's hoping that this week's knitting goes smoothly.Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13906826460232914998noreply@blogger.com
