Anice is off the menu

I just can't get to grips with the kidsilk haze and this pattern together. I think I bit off more than I can knit with this one!

So, last night I tried a small sampler using KSH and the Hanami stole pattern. It was really nice to do compared with the Anice.

Here it is, you can't really see the beaded cast on - this is a really great way of getting beads on, I hate threading them on the yarn!


I have some Lane Borgosesia Cashwool yarn on order to do the Hanami proper with. Can't wait to try it :)

Sahara Minus Progress

Rippit rippit!

I don't know what I did wrong, but I had joined the back to the left and front sides and somehow I had 20 something less stitches than I should have had.

So I charted it out on my trusty laptop to see where I'd gone wrong. It was w-a-a-y back at the front armhole shaping. So it got undone. A lot. I haven't yet been able to bear picking up again.

Why is it some projects that should be straightforward I seem to make a hash of ?! It's not the first time I've done shaping on the wrong side of the arm/neckline. Bit embarrassing really...

Oh well, I should just get stuck in to it again. It better be perfect when I've finished with it! :)
