what's this?

One step forward, two steps back. The joys of designing.

Ooh, ripping out is hard to do! It seems like the fix is in January, not February! Lots of ripping all around. The reknitting will be faster than the original knitting I'm sure!

My fingers just curl at the sight of all those ends! But the colors look so beautiful, I know the finished product will be lovely.

And a Sockapalooza update is on my blog, sock 1 is finished! :)

Thanks again for organizing this!

Yes, hmmm, I re-ripped and re-ripped some gloves I'm working on, glad I'm not alone!

All my sympathies, I have been in the exact same boat lately. I keep telling myself I must actually like ripping since I keep designing and it is almost inevitable.

oh that looks positively painful! You are so brave!

All that frogging - yikes! I bet you feel better now that it's over!!!!!!

Oy! that's a panic attack!
I like the pink.

Argh!!!! Oh what a feeling! I know it, I know it! Been on a holding pattern with just the tiptop (is that a word?) of each sleeve shaping. I managed a really rough translation of a French (Phildar again) pattern. Easy enough. Now translate THAT onto the actual knitting! Finally I managed the somewhat correct shape though the rows might not match up exactly (its a raglan!). So-o-o moved on to next piece...collar (knitting it separate this time rather than a picked up one). Now I know why it's been sitting around for more than a year!

But .. uh .. but ... I feel your pain (and Wut?), but I'm sure you know what you're doing!
