I started trying to link them all, but there were many, many Sydney and Canberran knitbloggers in attendance. Alas, I didn&#8217;t take very many pictures, but <a href=\"http:\/\/bellsknits.blogspot.com\/2009\/12\/summer-knitting-in-quay.html\">Bells<\/a> has some great ones.<br \/>\nI spent the day working on my Lacy Kerchief scarf.

Right?<br \/>\nI 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.<br \/>\nI&#8217;d stuffed up the lace more than 80 rows back. And while it wasn&#8217;t blindingly obvious, I knew it was there. And for about 30 seconds I considered ignoring it. But I couldn&#8217;t. SO I spent half the train trip home ripping out most of the knitting I&#8217;d achieved.<br \/>\nThe red line indicates where I&#8217;d been up to before I frogged it.
