Alright, so over the weekend I frogged the cursed Skywalker WIP back to the lifeline, FOR THE SECOND TIME. I'm not mad, mind you, just supremely frustrated in my own inadequacies. However, thanks to the incredible foresight of one Laura Nelkin (the virtual, online, pre-recorded version of her anyway) I can actually do that without starting completely over. For which I say "holy crap thank you soooooooo much because there's simply no way I would have picked this thing back up if I had to start over from the begining." Anywho. I promised pics documenting the aforementioned torture, so here you go.
Step One: Something Looks Wonky.
Step Two: *sigh* I'll Have To Do ALL THIS AGAIN.
Step Three: Don't Look and Just Pull It Fast Like A Band-Aid(All rights reserved, blah blah blah, trademark.)
Step Four: Yay! I can START OVER!!! Wait... Why Am I So Happy About That?
Step Five: I'll Get You This Time My Pretty...
I'm not sure if you noticed, but I was getting the first 6 rows done just fine. Because of that, I decided that once I got there, I wanted to move my lifeline up to that point. I figure there's no point going back further if I know that my problem is happening after that point. So far things are on track, and I've done rows 7 and 8. I seem to really notice issues at 9. This time, because I'm not really sure if I was actually having a problem or not last time, I'm just going to keep going to the end of the chart. I know for a fact that the very first time I tried it, I got off on my stitches, so my staggered openwork stuff wasn't staggered properly. I think that last time it just looked funny, but might have been ok. This time, I'll find out for sure.
Anywho, such was my weekend project. I know, I lead a life of never-ending excitement and wonder. I'm so lucky!!!
