Guess what! I fixed the hole in my BSJ! Well, it's still a bit funny looking but it's not a hole. And I didn't have to frog more than a few stitches. I'm a little amazed at myself. I might even be able to finish it before July :)
Of course there is a reason I was fighting with that. Sadly, I discovered I had dropped a stitch in the shawl I'm working on. Sometime last week. :( I'm going to have to undo the entire lace section. And surprisingly I haven't cried or cursed or anything. I'm remarkably zen about it. We'll see if I can manage to hold onto that while picking up all those stitches. I just hope I only lose one week's worth of knitting and not three. I had even gotten three rows knit while waiting at the lab for my
And yet again, in spite of being surrounded by piles of books I'm still not reading anything. Oh I read bits here and pieces there, books to the boys, articles online. But no book going at the moment. I did place a hold on Treasures from the Attic. I just haven't been in the mood to start anything else. Other than other projects. Maybe next week I'll really have something done? A tired Mama must have dreams of something... other than dishwashers and sleep :)
So I'll be linking up with Ginny at the Yarn Along today and Crunchy Catholic Momma's Stash Bash tomorrow. Because making progress is good. And hope springs eternal, maybe soon I'll have a finished object to show off. I wonderful if it will be knitting, quilting, or a baby at this rate...

hip hip hooray! For fixing the hole, I'm sure it looks great! I hope you passed the test :)
Oh tough luck there Kate.........I would be bawling my eyes out, with a bit of foot stamping thrown in for good measure, at the thought of having to frog back a lace section..........pretty shawl though.
Well done for staying zen on your frogging. I hope it woks out this time round. I have had to frog what I am knitting twice now! At least the wool I am using is lovely to work with. Jacinta
Way to go, Kate!
Sorry to hear about your dropped stitch! But good job on fixing the hole. Knitting is a love/hate kind of craft sometimes!
