What a weekend!

Dec14

What an awesome weekend I had!
Bright and early Saturday morning I got up and went to the Inner City Guild meeting, and afterwards spent the afternoon knitting outside the Sydney Opera House with a bunch of great people. I started trying to link them all, but there were many, many Sydney and Canberran knitbloggers in attendance. Alas, I didn’t take very many pictures, but Bells has some great ones.
I spent the day working on my Lacy Kerchief scarf. It’s relatively mindless, easy knitting.


Can’t go very wrong, right? Right?
I knit merrily away, making a mistake or two in the lace part, but ripping it back and fixing it. Then I got on the train. And looked at it again.
I’d stuffed up the lace more than 80 rows back. And while it wasn’t blindingly obvious, I knew it was there. And for about 30 seconds I considered ignoring it. But I couldn’t. SO I spent half the train trip home ripping out most of the knitting I’d achieved.
The red line indicates where I’d been up to before I frogged it. (The cable shows where I’m currently up to – the scarf is folded in half)

And this picture was taken after I’d reknit about 5 repeats!
In happier news, when I got home on Saturday afternoon, I got stuck into Venezia’s second sleeve. And guess what?

Those sleeves are now attached, and she’s blocking, right this very minute!

  7. you inspired me. I made a mistake on my icarus and was going to ignore it. Then I read what you did and thought nah, if Rock Star Donna can rip, so can I. I only had to go back 8 rows but that’s nearly 300 stitches a row!!!
    Hurry up and blog Venezia!!!
