I'm doing it !

Now there are plenty of things I should be doing (finishing), the few bits for the Etsy shop or Maddies birthday crochet project, for example. Instead I decided to follow my desires last night and found myself a supposedly easy pattern. Its the Lace Wrap . You may have to register to get into the Lion brand site to see it.

Despite the warning in the comments from yesterday (thankyou gigibird !) I decided to go with the mohair. I like a challenge. And a challenge it was, ripping out that third row twice after ending up with the wrong number of stitches at the end. BUT and it's a big but - I now know how to dissect what I've knit and work out where I've gone wrong. I was not going to let it beat me. I just went through all the stitches over and over and over and over till I found the mistake.
I expect this was the first of many rip out sessions..........Don't expect this to be completed (if I don't throw in the towel first!) anytime soon....or even this year..

The first signs of the lacy pattern are thrilling though and I even dreamed (honestly) about yarn overs. I do get a bit obsessed or to put it a bit better, focused, on things when I get going. Never the stuff thats a priority though ;)

I've spent the morning cleaning out the fridge, the most despised job in the world in this house..(yes the whole morning - lets just say it was last done way before Christmas and I get a muddy veg box each week)...so I think I'll reward myself with one little row......just one..............

It looks beautiful so far!! That's so funny, I do the same thing. When I've done something and crossed it off my list, I give myself permission to crochet or knit a row or two or three....
