Ribbit

I couldn't stand it and frogged the entire thing. So now I'm on take 2. Months of work down the tubes, but at least I know I'm capable to sticking with this project and that it is still important to me.

In other news, the first phase of Elder Daughter's swim season is over, and she is is frustrated, disappointed, and down on herself for not swimming best times while rehabbing a serious shoulder injury.

Sigh.

Ugh

I am approximately twenty rows away from finishing the final chart of my shawl .... and I'm freaking out because I think I have read the chart wrong. I know in my heart that lace on the needles looks like crap and I shouldn't expect it to resemble the beautiful blocked versions on Ravelry but I may have to put aside all of my grading and all of my project folders to finish this & get it off the needles so I can block it. Then I'll either be thrilled/relieved/proud or I'll be doing something drastic to bemoan my knitting hubris in taking on this project in the first place.
