This is after I frogged and reknit 60 rows.
That's right. Sixty. Please, make it stop.


The cotton raglan sweater I'm knitting for my husband is turning into a nice lazy project; I've only been knitting a few rows every evening but it seems to progress relatively quickly thanks to the larger gauge. And guess what! Knitting with cotton can be a surefire way to show how shot your knitting tension can look sometimes. Early yesterday morning I looked at this sweater and in a fit of caffeinated giddiness ripped out a whopping 60 rows. Just because I didn't like my tension. Send decaf.

What's that? My Rowan Pagan tank? Oh yes. I finished knitting the armhole and neckline bands on the tank late last night, and then decided to just go ahead and seam it even though I was practically falling asleep because I was on a roll and wanted to try it on to see how it looked. Like suspense? Good. 'Cause all I'm gonna say is that I'm soooo glad I reworked the pattern. I love how this tank fits! It's early in the morning right now and I've got the tank carefully spread out on a towel in a final session of wet blocking. I've put the tank next to an open window in the hopes it'll dry quickly; today might hit the 80s and I'd really love to wear it.

P.S. My new digital camera (and battery recharger [!]) will be delivered in a few weeks. For now, I'm still using my faithful little spycam.
