Take a Cue from Nature....

Goodness it's been awhile hasn't it. I've been lost in the land of knitting a Hanne Falkenberg Pygmalion for my lys owner. I will be posting this weekend all the gory details & final photos. Here's a shot back on November 19th when I realized what an idiot I really am. I knit 4.5 vertical blocks & bound off for the armholes instead of the 5.5 called for. I didn't notice the problem until I had the back a few rows from binding off. Then I rippppppped, thought nasty things, called all family for a good cry & reworked. If something could go wrong on this project, it could and did.




Before & After Ripping Back




My favorite quote to live by at the moment?

'Adopt the pace of nature: Her secret is patience.'

Ooooh Hanne Falkenberg! How ambitious! I have one of her kits for someday when I feel ready. Good luck finishing it up!
I think that's an excellent quote to live by.

I love that quote.
I hadn't ever heard of Hanne Falkenberg. Now I must go searching.

Good quote! Sorry about the ripping, but I can't wait to see your Pygmalion. It was so cool to have a chance to see Deborah in NY, however briefly.

I felt every bit of your pain while knitting the bad boy. I am so thrilled it is done and done. I will never knit a Hanne Falkenberg. Fantastic job sis!
