I mentioned I'm working on the Daybreak pattern by Stephen West. I love it. I have fun doing it. I just realized, however, that I've been working on it since April.
In fact, I was looking through old posts on CKW, and found the start date: April 15. The post was pretty funny, really, because I could not get my head around the idea of rotating the piece 90 degrees. Two people and fifty explanations later (well, not really, but my skull is very thick sometimes), and I was underway...too bad I ended up ripping it all out and starting over at LEAST two time.
As of 1pm today, August 26, 2010, I was 14 rows of striping and 28 rows of finishing (so 32 rows total) away from binding off and being done! Then it's time to block that sucker and wear the living daylights out of it!
As one of the "two people," lemme just say that it's hard to get your head around a top-down cast on like that the first time. . .and I can't wait to see the finished project!
ReplyDeleteIt's come along so nicely! Thursday night classes at the center have taken a pause for the next few weeks, so I should be able to make it (finally!)
ReplyDeleteI've still got 32 rows to go, since I went crazy on another shawl (bigger yarn, faster knitting), but I will bring both when I make it next! =)
