It is called Floral Dance.
I have never knitted with such fine yarn before but I couldn't resist the beautiful floral colours of this. I searched long and hard for a suitable pattern to try and decided on...

The pattern is rated as 'easy' and the reviews I have read said, it was a pleasure to knit and very quick. They also state the pattern is 'Spot on'. So far I have frogged it seven times and this afternoon I gave it to my Mom to see if she could work out what on earth I am doing wrong. My Mom struggled a bit but my sons were being boys and the dog was being playful so it was hard to concentrate. Well, my Mom now thinks I should be on track with it, I am worried to try again as I have given it only one more chance! I have work to do before I can get back to knitting today. I seem to be a little jinxed lately. Does anyone have any advice for when one feels they are about to throw a knitting tantrum or get aggressive with knitting needles? It would make me feel better if you could share your disasters and frogging records!
Empathy by the bucket load from me as you know from my last blog post!!! I wanted a T-shirt that said I knit so I don't kill people, now I wonder if it should say I want to kill people because I knit!!!! Do what I do, put it in the naughty bag for a day or two to teach it a lesson then look at it with fresh eyes.
ReplyDeleteTotaly in love with the Floral Dance yarn. Would you PM me on Rav the shop you got it from.
Love Tickety-boo
