I had intended to publish a post last summer, but after I typed the post, my computer put it somewhere I couldn't find, so I sort of gave up, and as so often happens, I "accidentally" found it--in the blog draft pages, for which there are no links on the regular post page, so I am not sure how one finds the drafts even now.
Anyway, the last post was found, finished and published today, even tho' the day says December 28, 2013. Try not to be too confused.
Here is a picture of the finished project:
As I was pinning the shawl in place with the blocking wires, I noticed four little stitches near the beginning of the project that were sort of hanging loose with little connection to the rest of the stitches--this was not good. Apparently, when I purled all four of the stitches together, I picked up more fuzz (it is a mohair yarn) than yarn, and in the process of being washed, the fuzz gave up and turned those four stitches loose. Since I am inherently unable to rip down an entire project, I had to devise a solution to corral those four renegade stitches: I took a piece of yarn and did duplicate stitches as though I were knitting the all over again; tucked in the ends and viola! hole closed, stitches safely under control and only I know it (and whoever reads this blog, of course).
And once again, I will try to keep to a better schedule of blog entries. It's not like I have nothing to report, since at any given time, I have six or eight projects in various stages of completion. In fact, I am working on another cobweb scarf, but more of that later.
