Back in the saddle again

Posted on | June 22, 2005 | 2 Comments

And here is the fruit of my labor over the past couple weeks. I finished up the front last night and started the sleeve when I came home from work. Then I was just checking the original picture, and I realized that I started the neck drop for the front way too low – even though it measured OK according to the directions. It seemed low to me when I was separating my neck stitches on the holder, but I trusted the directions and didn’t have the picture in front of me. Well, if I decide to rip back, it’s not that many rows and it should only set me back about an hour or hour and a half worth of work. I also noticed that the sleeve I started tonight should have been started w/ burgundy. I somehow assumed it was supposed to be olive. Why I assumed that, I have no idea. Guess it’s the mental burn I’ve been feeling lately! At least that only means ripping back 10 rows of garter stitch.

And in hockey news — THE PHANTOMS WON THE CALDER CUP!! 1998 and 2005 – How sweet it is! Who cares about NHL when all the excitement is right here in the AHL. I don’t need a bunch of whining, overpaid players. All I need is some young guys with heart!
