One of those days

Woke up to a house without power yesterday and no diet coke. Poor me. Why, when the power is out do you do things without thinking? I went to my computer thinking since I can’t do laundry I’d spend some time reading blogs. After 3 ½ hours the power came back on and my computer appears to be fried. Thanks goodness we have a spare.

While the lights were out…I attempted to knit. I’ve frogged all my progress from today. Note to self – do not knit without proper lighting. The knitting was interesting. It was the Ripple Scarf in its last phase – the bottom edging. In the beginning you knit a five inch edging in one direction. When it was done, you turn it and pick up stitches for the rest of the scarf.

Still with me? After the body of the scarf is done these are the directions: “The second lace edging is knit sideways to the body and knitted together with the live stitches on the needle on odd-numbered rows.” Sounds like a strange process, but it works if the lighting is good. This Fiddlesticks pattern, designed by Dorothy Siemens, is so clearly written. It’s a pleasure. So here is where I am:

Actually I’m not really there, this was before the frogging. Those stitches were so live, they kept jumping off the needle. I’m almost here and quite ready to have this project over with. When I feel that way I invite mistakes. Hope to have a blocking photo by the end of the week.
