Oh my goodness. I'm writing an entry this soon. *gasp*.
Something must have happened.

Well, yes, it did. I learned how to properly knit lace a couple months ago, so yesterday, I took a look at the first lace project I started (a feather lace scarf), and found it wanting.
Ok, not simply wanting, but cr*p. Pure and simple.
I frogged it, and the needles and yarn have been put away.

Ah well. I know I'll overcome the humiliation and go back to it. After all, I did like the yarn and the pattern - the way it was supposed to look and not the mess I knitted - so I've decided that October will be the month to re-start the leaf lace scarf in Regia sock wool, colourway Parrot.
This does mean that there are no photgraphs of the lace abomination, as I didn't want reminders of it.

On a lighter note, I found a pattern for a tricorn pirate's hat - to felt.
http://knitlikeapirate.com was the wonderful website.
It's a fledgling website, but it's charming.

Until the next post.
