nope, my botched attempt at the legwarmer. by some stroke of brilliance, I wanted the start of the round to be the center of the stirrup (aka heel hole). so I started binding off, knit around, and then bound off again. realized I’d have a random loop in the middle. um, not what I was going for… but it was bothering me a wee bit anyways - some of the sections of ribbing were loose and looked sort of ladder-like - and they weren’t by the joints of the dpns. (well some were, but they were mainly on the purl sections of the ribbing) - you can kind of see the problem in the detail pic.
anywho, I started frogging, but hit a trouble spot, so I threw it in the freezer (I’ve read a tip somewhere - probably the knittyboard - that freezing mohair and other problem yarns helps in frogging. the cold changes how the hairs join or something?). frogging still wasn’t cooperating - I must have knit some stray mohairs together with the next stitch or something. they’re not moving. so I started frogging around it. laid it down, and you have a squid look-alike (well, maybe more jellyfish like…)
Hello Christy!
Hope all is going well w/the new job. Could you please email me with your shoe size (or even better foot measurements). I promise I have not turned into some sort of strange knitting stocker person. I do have my reasons :+)
By the way strange coincidences abound….as I was taking a peep at your finished projects page…and I also happend to do the very same scarf in the Lana Grossa Pep in the very same colorway at roughly the same time you made up yours :+).
Take care & Happy Knitting! Darleen
P.S. I brewed up the coffee you sent me this morning & it is delicious!
