I forgot…I have one more project in the works that has totally made its way to the bottom of my knitting bag under all my wool and into the lost land of frustration; it is funny story though. A couple of weeks ago I was involved in the “Knitting Olympics:” cast on a new project during the opening ceremony and cast off during the closing ceremony. Well, I chose an easy project: Prairie Boots from COCO Knits deigned by Julie Weisenberger. It was such an easy project that after knitting one whole boot (left) by the next day I decided to put the project on hold until the closing ceremony…didn’t want to finish early. The day of I started knitting the right foot and during the start closing ceremony I started to cast off. I was so proud that I had actually finished until I put the boots side-by-side and realized to my horror I had knit a small size when my left boot was a medium…. I ripped the right boot out and started knitting it up again. Realizing I wasn’t going to finish on time I put the boot down for the day. Determined I picked it up again the next day and finished, only to realize after I had sewn on the buttons that I had made 2 left feet…. The boot is still not done. Moral of the story- haste makes waste.
PS the sleeves are done on my Cowichan sweater!
I love this story, and the boots looked great on Erick.
