Guess what I did? I knit Elsie a sweater. I started it around the same time I started my thesis, because I needed something that would relax me and take my mind off of things and didn't run on electricity. It turned into a race, sweater vs. thesis. The sweater is all but complete (it needs buttons and ribbon trim). The thesis still needs a half a chapter, a major round of edits, and the blessing of my advisor. I think that means that the sweater wins the race. That would make willpower the loser here.
Frankly, I prefer the sweater. My thesis doesn't have cute little pea pod boarders or scalloped trim. Maybe it should.
Can any knitters out there (I'm looking at you, Emilee!) tell me why my scalloped trim is curling out so much? The picture has it lying nice and flat in the book. I am very new to this. This is only my second project. My first was a newborn sized sweater that is all wonky and would only fit ET.

ReplyDeleteAlmost nothing gets a lot of consumers into a heated discussion a great deal more than the matter of garden gnomes. Are they tacky or pretty lawn ornaments? Is possessing a lawn gnome a present of high quality flavor or a form of slavery? Is gnome (aka knome) ownership a issue of pride or of shame?
