Just wanted a picture of this before it hits the frog pond.  I do like it and love working with the Louet Gems Merino, but I really wanted something more rounded and this one just feels too “pointy” to me for where I’m at right now.  I do like the pattern (Sivia Harding), though and will probably use it another time.  For all the knitting I have managed to turn out (not ALL of it gets frogged and tinked!!!), I have nothing that really *shows*.  I decided I need something besides socks!  This is actually a pretty easy pattern although this far into it, I haven’t gotten the rhythm of the pattern, I am just doing what it says.  I’m tempted to leave it, but I really don’t need one more unfinished project sitting around.  :-s

I nearly had myself talked in to working on my poor Charlotte’s Web shawl that I unintentionally abandoned last summer but when I took it out of the bag today to look at, I just wasn’t ready.  The colors aren’t really speaking to me right now and I was afraid if I started working on it, it would really end up at the frog pond and I didn’t really want to be rash right now.  Thankfully, I quit working on it before life got so incredibly stressful or I’d have had a lot of emotion attached to it that didn’t need to be there.  I need to go back and read what Stephanie had to say about that in her new book.  I remember I had missed one stitch in the last lifeline and I had one tiny mistake in the row I was working on…if I’d been smart, I’d have written it down but why start being smart about those things now! 

Happy Easter!
