I don’t regret frogging the Sheep Shawl.  I wasn’t very far into it and it wasn’t working out.  What I am having second thoughts about is casting on Juno Regina with that Baruffa Cashwool that I wound on Saturday.  The pattern is working out–I like it and it likes me.  Also, the yarn is both soft and sturdy–at least as sturdy as lace-weight can be.  The problem is that on Friday, I ordered the yarn for the Peacock Feathers Shawl.  As content as I am with Juno, I know that she will get tossed aside like a frumpy hausfrau for a sexy new vixen.  I wonder if it would be more fair to undo the very little (20 rows) that I have done and put her aside when I can focus more completely on her.  I am a bad bad knitter that knows nothing of knitting monogamy.

Also, Matt is still sick and has begun making a sound during the night like someone is attempting to have maritals with an undead goose; it is a very squishy honk.  I need sleep.

Let’s please have a moment of silence for the Sheep Shawl who suffered two critical and ultimately fatal injuries this Valentine’s Day.  Two yarn overs were missed.  Although the knitter diligently used a lifeline, the errors occurred in the lifeline row.

Here and here.

The knitter’s patience with the project ran out, and she made the difficult decision to terminate.  The shawl was reduced to its basic components.  Rest in Peace.

To make myself feel better, I made a cup of miso soup and wound 1500 yards of Baruffa Cashwool while appreciating the one year anniversary of my dear ball winder who I love more and more each time I use her. 

Sadly, this was the extent of my Valentine’s Day celebration because my husband is down with the flu.  Although I was give him props for going out despite his illness and getting me some chocolate-dipped strawberries.  I love you Matt (and not just because of the chocolate).

…one to go.

Please note that I have already started the second to avoid Second Sock Syndrome.  A three hour training session not only helps a knitter to avoid SSS but makes her darned happy to have a second sock to knit.

I also got yarn mail today.

Witch Bear approves.
