I am sure that it will come as no surprise to anyone that I had to use a lifeline on Black Rose recently. It takes longer than I would have guessed to put the lifeline row back on needles. I was so discouraged, I am taking a little break, and working on my Fuscia Print O' the Wave shawl instead.
That one is progressing nicely. Two and a half repeats down, out of 17 needed. Just for kicks, I reviewed the entire instructions. I could tell from the picture that there would be a border, which I was looking forward to as a new experience. I didn't realize that there was a lot more to that than expected. The Inner Border has four different rounds; the pick up round, marker round, eyelet round, and miter round. The I get the Outer Border Edge, the one that I already knew about.
How did I not notice that I would have to pick up 640 stitches around the entire circumferance, do a few rows, then do the perpendicular edging that I expected? Because I didn't get enough picked up stitches with Duchess.
I took pictures of everything, but for some reason, can upload them. My apologies, and I will try to add them on a later day, after my compueter stops pouting.
Today, it is all about the Fuschia.
