Just now when I logged in to post, I realised that this is my 900th entry! And to think that the web dude thought I’d never keep it up!
\nI’ve been working slowly but diligently on Venezia this week. With everything else, I’ve only been managing around 2 rounds a day, but it was growing.

\nNotice I said was? That’s how it looked first thing this morning. This afternoon, it’s looks like this.

\nI wish the photos were backwards, but they aren’t. I failed to do one very important thing. Read the stupid pattern! I was happily plodding along, going by the chart, and didn’t pay any attention to the written part, where it mentioned decreases.
\nI thought about trying to fudge it, but it just wasn’t going to work. So I had to rip it out. I thought about knitting something else instead, but if I did that, I’d probably never pick it up again.
\nIn happier news, I finished my Swirl Scarf<\/a>.

\nSpecs:
\nPattern: Swirl Scarf<\/a> by Jane Field
\nYarn: ShibuiKnits Silk Cloud. I got both the yarn and the pattern from The Loopy Ewe<\/a>.
\nNeedles: 4mm and 4.5mm KnitPicks Harmony
\nMods: I looked at a bunch of projects on Ravelry before I started, and noticed that a lot of people had run out of yarn knitting this scarf. As I usually need to go down a needle size anyway, I went ahead and started with a 4mm needle. As I got close to the end, I realised that I was going to have plenty of yarn. Too much, even. So for the last 3 rows I went back up to a 4.5mm needle. I still had 3g left at the end.
\nOverall? I love it! The weather is warming up here now, and it’s getting past scarf weather, but I wore it this week anyway!

\nIt’s heavenly soft, and smells of silk. I think I’d like one in every colour!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
