Defeated by lace, yeah...
No, I'm not talking about the Mystery Stole 3, which is healthy and wealthy, and waiting for the Friday morning, when clue 4 arrives at my mailbox.
I'm talking about the Emelia choker. I'm sorry, Jen!...
Remember, what I did first time I started it? I knitted half of it, then out it away, then picked it up after some time and made a mistake, knitting the other half somehow mirrored...

For Goodness sake, I'm knitting a proper big complicated charted lace shawl right now, so I should be absolutely capable of making a small choker!...
Well, it seems I'm not, and for now I surrender. I will knit Emelia one day.

And because I have no new knitting to show you, here is what I've been working on this week - it's a Sweet Lolita skirt for my friend Kate.
It's a layered white cotton petticoat plus a cotton apron.
She'll be wearing it on Saturday during our picnic, I promise you the photos! *^v^*
Sorry to hear the Emelia didn't make it. I know you have been "wrestling" with it for some time now but maybe another time.
ReplyDeleteI love the Sweet Lolita Skirt-can i have one and come to the picnic too :) :)
p.s thanx again for you kind words on my Mystery Stole i am happy to say i went back to it last night with fresh eyes and finished chart 3 this afternoon.
