I did it, I put a project out of its misery. Having returned the remaining seven skeins of Estelle Mystik, I haven’t decided if I’ll burn my two Autumn Silk Cardigan sweater pieces or if I’ll toss them in the garbage. You see, it’s not worth frogging as it becomes a split mess once knitted, and it knits up terribly to begin with, so there’s no way I’ll use it again. Every time I picked up that blasted project the yarn would catch on my skin unless I used an ample amount of hand cream. I couldn’t imagine being able to wear it without it catching and pulling on everything. I’ve finally freed up a good pair of Addi’s and some missed stitch markers. Good riddance cursed project! Those who know me will agree, it is so unlike me to throw away $24 worth of yarn, but I feel so liberated.
On a brighter note, having received a raise at work, I treated myself to the Spaceboard from Patternworks.
P.S. I’ve given in and joined the Summer of Lace KAL. Marina, with 21 colours, doesn’t travel well, requiring at least half a piece of luggage. So the knitting for THE trip will be a Kiri shawl, made from Grignaso in my stash.
