The lace scarf was my first attempt at lace. I wanted to do something simple - none of those 900 end cast ons with 500 row repeats for me. This is feather and fan - also perfect in fat yarn for baby wash cloths.
While I plug away at the midnight blue sweater for a big guy - all the while learning that midnight blue is a bad color choice for eyes of a certain age, and that knitting a large sweater is slow going - I started a wee project - booties for baby Ellie. I was happy with the first bootie - went to knit the second, where I miscounted, and shorted the bootie height until it was almost non-existent. I started again and completed a perfect mate. Until I went to finish the loose ends. Somehow I had two right feet. I didn't think baby Ellie would like that. Third go round - success.
Funny how in the face of clear evidence that the knitting is going awry, one continues to knit only to be surprised that, in fact, the knitting has gone awry. There are life lessons here.
