And Yet So Far…

Posted on June 12th, 2005 by Deb

dscn1347  What’s wrong with this picture?

Okay, other than the aesthetic issues of the carpet background detracting from the pattern, and the careless triangle of unblocked lace, and all that. Other than that.

You have to look closer.

No, closer.

That’s it.

Yep. I’m that close to finishing my Peacock, and my skein ran out.

Can you believe it?

dscn1350  Luckily, all is not lost. I do have another skein, right here in the house. I mean, I’ll be able to finish tomorrow, so it’s not like the end of the world. It’s just utterly ridiculous to be this close to being done and then have to stop . . . and then use just a couple of feet from this new skein?

Sheesh!

At least I knew that all of you would understand . . .

Sigh.

    We had one of those almosts on Saturday. A friend ended up with just a few feet left of her Lion & Lamb after she finished and cast off her Clapotis. She walked around all day saying, “I’m not looking… I’m not looking…”

    Well, it would have been a nightmare if you didn’t have any more in the house.

    It looks beautiful, but I want to see it blocking! (I know, I’m always complaining, sorry.)

    Whew! Thank goodness you have the extra yarn. Great work…you are so close to having another beautiful shawl done.

    I absolute can’t wait to see that blocked. I almost bought that pattern more than once…
