That is That

I finally fluffed out the shawl and did not care for what I saw.  The green and the grey are gorgeous together, but that variegated just left me blah.

 

And there was so much of it. Even though the most used yarn was the grey, the "kid's birthday party at full scream" portion was longer and thinner and went on forever. So I texted a friend and we agreed to go with my gut and frog this thing. The yarn is safely bake in its cake formation, ready to be knit into something else.

Burt and Mellie decided I needed a very full lap and came to comfort me. It is always a little sad when your knitting doesn't work out but it is always better to admit and move on to something else.

 I mean really Momma? What were you thinking?

I knew long ago that it was not going to be great but I was having fun and not hurting anyone. I didn't even cut yarn really and only wove in two ends. In my heart I knew.

Luckily I followed my heart and ordered a couple of books to round out my knitting library. I guess I'm happily in love with Melanie Berg's patterns now. Should take me a while to work through a few of these.
