Just a quick post. And picture heavy. But most of the pictures are of Maisie so I doubt anyone's going to call the blogging police ;-).
Started out frosty. This is a fence plank.
But rapidly warmed up into a day warm enough to sit outside. A little chilly for knitting, but I got several rows added. Even if it doesn't look like it. I am an excruciatingly slow knitter. I'm trying not to let that get me down.
I think Maisie and Hickory have a thing.
Eli just about lost a "thing" ;-).
After almost an hour of grazing together, they decided to go their separate ways.
And Maisie came a' running.
This is a classic Maisie face. One ear back and I swear she has one eyebrow raised.
She inspected the knitting. No baba here.
So she ran back to the porch and spent several minutes giving me the eyebrow until I finally caved and went inside and warmed up a tiny baba. She ain't never gonna get weaned at this rate...
But that made her happy and she decided to take a short nap with me, Iris, Weaslie and Eli. And then it started to get cloudy, and the temp started dropping and I realized I'd messed up something in the lace section and I was about 95% sure I wasn't smart enough to fix that...
So I made 20 rip those stitches out. I couldn't watch. But, between the two of us, we figured out how to recreate that panel and were back on course. I was thrilled. And luckily we did, because I made two more mistakes that needed to be fixed tonight. Nothing serious...now that I know how to do it...but still slowing me down.
I made it through row 33, so 13 rows today. Shooting for 20 rows tomorrow. I have an easier set for awhile tomorrow and I'm hoping I can pick up some speed. Of course every other row adds 8 stitches, so that's not helping me much.
Knit on with confidence!
