Aww, Rats!

 Got the knitting of the body for Lovelia done, wove in all the ends, blocked it before putting the shoulders together. 


Before weaving in the ends.

Frogged it.

Something was wrong. It looked awful. The part above the armholes was knit much tighter than below. All the rows that consisted of single CC stitches separated by 5 MC sts were the worst. The CC stitches were way bigger. In other words. It was a mess. In addition, the measurements were off. I managed to confuse centimeters and inches. I was very unhappy with it, so I frogged it and started over. I'm almost to the divide at the armholes. It looks so much better. Pics later.

We had a visitor last Friday.



As moose go, it's a small young one. In the above pic it's staring at a barking Zoey behind the fence. Below it decided Zoey wasn't a threat and decided to move on. It didn't stay long.


We're having a 5 minute weather day. Right now it's sunny, but 5 minutes ago it was dark and hail was pounding the roof. Life in north Idaho. Never a dull moment at the Parkarosa.

Live long and prosper. \\//
