so i was reading here about lindsay’s finished frost flowers when i was caught by a certain line. she said she did only 5 of the 7 repeats of chart 2. i just reached chart 2 and for some reason, i thought there were only 3 repeats of it.
THERE ARE 7. SEVEN. the number after FIVE (oh God) and before EIGHT!!! what the heck did i do when i started this thing again? i’m getting overwhelmed right now, but i’ll be fine. it’s just that i had a plan to trudge through a chart per day and i could be on the edging by at least sunday. no, that’s not happening at all. i can look at being done this thing by next week and that’s only if i keep with the chart-per-day method. if i allow for eating & sleeping time like a normal person, it’ll be longer. i think that cap shawl messed with my head. finishing something that large in a matter of 3 weeks (simple as it was) makes you think you flippin’ wonder woman and you can finish anything in that amount of time. and there was also my beloved wonderful wallaby. i did that in 10 days and some of those days i didn’t do much. bragging? no. explaining how your knitting experiences can set you up. ohhhhhhh yes.
so I cast on for the central park hoodie again, from the fall 2006 of knitscene. i couldn’t find the right yarn i wanted to knit it up with before, but i went for the cascade sierra that I have about 12 skeins of (sale yarn is awesome!). plus i saw carrieoke do it here with the same yarn and i have picture proof that it does come out looking quite cozy and fantastic. being on vacation is fantastic.
