Kim Knits: Ene hit the frog pond

Ene hit the frog pond

I was almost done with chart one and I have been thinking that the left half just didn't look the same as the right. But I kept going, trying to convince myself that that was the nature of lace and it would look right when blocked.

Well, last night I finished chart one and I added a couple of sections to my denise needle set so I could stretch it out and see what was going on. My stitch count was right but apparently I got off track somewhere and the left half is a MESS!

I frogged it last night and am not sure when I will cast on again. I think I am going to cast on for Backyard Leaves and do Ene later this winter.

375 stitches X 22 rows = :-(

Kim said...: Thanks guys...hubby didn't understand why i was in tears last night as I was frogging it...; 3:28 PM
JustApril said...: Illustrate it this way...someone just keyed his corvette; 4:00 PM
Kim said...: haha; 8:23 PM
Meg said...: That is awful news! But, rest assured, it happened to me too! I think I had to cast on about 3 or 4 separate times for Ene. I also refused to recognise that I had a problem with my chart 1 until even my bf looked at it and said, no - that can't be right. I was so frustrated I cast on enough stitches for one panel of the <<>> shape. Working that made me understand what I had been doing wrong. My problem was that I wasn't doing the double centre decrease correctly. So don't give up all hope. Chart 1 is definitely the hardest part. But definitely give yourself a break if you feel like you need it. Backyard Leaves is heaps of fun.; 1:48 AM
Kim said...: Hm.. I'm testing something here... if it just says this comment is from "kim" then it didn't work..; 5:55 PM
Kim said...: HEY! It worked! Yay!

Now you're not "talking to yourself" : P; 5:55 PM
Kim said...: aawww...i liked the confusion...;-) Besides, if they really paid attention they would notice your picture...

I have been a bad blogger and haven't posted anything in quite some time. The only excuse I have is the batteries in my camera are dead...; 8:16 PM
Kim said...: This is why you need to buy *new* batteries, recharge the ones you have (if they're rechargable), or buy rechargable ones and a charger and then you won't have to go anywhere to fix it again..

In other words... FIX IT : P

Hehe.

Ok so.. I'm gonna change my name back.. cause it just feels weird.; 11:48 AM
Kim said...: haha...you shamed me into posting and update :-); 9:31 PM
