Life's a Stitch

How did that happen? A case of over confidence, lack of accurate counting and a stitch marker with a mind of its own lead me down the path to the frog pond. Caryl, she is history.

I have a hard time assigning gender to knitting projects, any inanimate object for that matter. I just tried to do it and it feels awkward. Chuck works in the transportation industry where ships are females and trains are males (go figure). I’m leaving my knitting projects as neither, they are just knitting projects.

But this was an opportunity. I’ve been wondering what Caryl’s Kerchief would look like if I purled back instead of knit back every other row. I think stockinette’s little V’s show off colour better than garter stitch, so here was my chance. It looks pretty good although I don’t think the lace pattern shows up as well. Maybe when its (she’s, nope, still doesn’t feel right) blocked.
