You started from the outside and are about 3/4 of the way in?


it gets hard there for some reason...really take your time and look for the path on both sides (rs and ws) before making a move...

Another thought....

Your mind is probly not on your knitting right now. Your having your kitchen redone and you have a friend whos pressuring you...
How did your interview go?

Perhaps a night sleep will refresh you ...I know you wanted to get this done tonight but........dont let it frustrate you.

Well...I got it done...but the graft is far from perfect. It it noticable, but no dropped stitches. I had to stop, for my sanity but also because my poor piece of yarn was getting felted with my back and forth. Give me a chance to block it, and I will show you what I was talking about....

Yeah...lots going on around here...sad thing is, it is that "friend" that is causing me the most grief.

Interview I think went well...I will know by Friday. There are lots of people trying for that position...and I am new around there...so we will see!

Off to block
