I’m On a Roll

This project had been stagnating for two years.
When I cast off, I was actually a little afraid to have it touch water, for fear that it might disintegrate before my eyes.

Too much info?
Ah well, my elation is such that I felt the need to share.
After two weeks of sneezing, blowing, sniffling, coughing and yes, sometimes weeping, I’m back to my relative healthy self and back to knitting on my Dragone shawl.
See, much better.

I managed, with the dexterity of a skilled and whacked out neurosurgeon, to rip my shawl back to row 131. I am thrilled to itty-bitty pieces.
I thought I’d try and show you what I was trying to describe in yesterday’s post about the twisting stitch.
