Frustrated with Diamond Lace tonight

Monday, August 6th, 2007

The Diamond Drop Lace dishcloth is going to be the death of me tonight.  I was knitting for an hour and have NOTHING to show for it.  When I thought I was done, I only had 38 stitches, instead of 41, like I was supposed to have! Can you say missed a few yarnovers?  Argh.  I think I was paying too much attention to TV and not enough to my knitting.   Bleah.  So, instead of being on row 27 or so, I’m back on row 23.  Every 4 rows, it’s k1 p39 k1, so I can always go back to a purl row, and get back on the needle.  It’s too weird trying to get the lacy rows back on the needle, after ripping.  I don’t know if I’m ever going to finish that one!

Emily is doing a ballband cloth with a pink/yellow/orange variegated yarn and black.  It looks so cool!

2 Dishcloths finished this week!

I finally decided it was time to make a ballband cloth.  I kept seeing pictures and there are so many different color combinations and they look so cool! Then I found out, that not only do they look cool, the pattern is really easy to knit!  I think I should make another one now, that has yellow bricks and variegated mortar!  LOL!  The yarn was Sugar n Cream Summer Splash and SnC yellow, with #7 needles.

This is Dudley the Dolphin and was part of the August Monthly Dishcloth KAL.  It’s a cute summer dishcloth! This one was SnC Light Blue and #7 needles.

1. What ONE thing would you like to accomplish before the end of the day?
Getting some more knitting done, on the Diamond Drop Lace dishcloth that I’m working on. 
2. What one goal would you like to attain before the end of the month?
Getting Sarah to go off to college, with a reasonable amount of supplies, so she doesn’t have to go shopping, right away.
3. Are you a “to-do list” writer? If so, do you stick to your list and cross things off as you complete them?
I’m not really a list writer.
4. In general, how organized do you feel you are?
Most of the time, not very organized.  Things creep up on me, and surprise me, all the time! I always think I have so much time to do things, but in reality, I don’t.
5. How many piles of papers/junk mail/etc. do you have laying around your house?
Way too many! How do people really keep on top of all that stuff.
6. Which ONE surface in your home do you have trouble keeping clean?
The kitchen table.  If you do clear it off, people see a clean slate and start setting stuff down again.
