I have been going great on my Girasole. Until…
Ugh.
I was starting Chart C. I had 260 stitches on my needles. Oh no – nope… I had 263. I had a feeling that the mistake happened two rounds back or about 750 stitches back. I am not too good at ripping out in the round. I lose my place. I’ve been thinking about how I can avoid that. Thinking a simple safety pin maybe to mark a spot.
My other option of tinking back 750 stitches did not appeal to me either. So since it didn’t take me that long to get this point – I just ripped it all out. I’ve already made some headway again. I think I am going to have to have my cone of silence again. At least for awhile.
I was a little disgusted so I put the girasole away and knitted this dishcloth. I saw the pattern and was curious to see how the wedges would all come together. It was really fun and a fast knit too!
And finally, Davey is starting karate at the Little Gym this fall, and he is very excited. Very. “Mommy, I already know a lot about karate”, he tells me.
Then he demonstrates.
There’s a lot of “Hi Ya!!!” action too.
And lots of spinning around and crazy kicking.
That picture was kinda blurry – boy in action!
That’s a great dishcloth!
I bet Davey just loves karate! Maybe we can get him to show us some moves on skype.
Ugh! So sorry you had to start over again, but sometimes that is easier.
Karate KId Davey and that starfish–so much cuteness!
I’m a little tearful about ripping out all those stitches, but you sound like you survived it with good cheer so I’ll try to get over it too 🙂
The starfish is very cute — great for gifts, too.
