Now Showing: BALLS

I've done some work on the cardigan and dug up the old gray sweater. But the most exciting thing by far was this marquee. Time to start my paper. Hooray!

Son of a Beach!

Yep, it was bound to happen. Cast on for the Dollar and a Half Cardigan and a few rows into the lace pattern it's time to rip it and start over. The lace pattern itself is intact. But I've got this blasted extra stitch at the end of the row. Kind of like when you've finished a nice section of stockinette stitch and there's a tiny snag, that you can't squish back into the fabric. And it just stares at you. That's what this extra lace stitch is doing...staring me down. And although I concede that this situation could have been resolved by pragmatic swatching, I like to dive right in (and flail).
