ugh!

I knit all week.


Through three days of a conference. Through the weekend climbing excursion to the Refuge.


but. UGH. Did not drape prettily as it had in my head. (Speaking of my head, I had to chop it out of the picture because I kept making horrid faces. UGH.)


Tolerable when wrapped and tied, which was how I primarily intended to wear it. But. Still.


I'm going to need some distance from this pond scum before I figure out what to do with it!

Maybe it will do better after blocking?

Julie said...

oh no!! I hate it when that happens. A good wet blocking could really make a huge difference with the drape- but then it'll probably also grow, as well.

UGH I hate it when that happens! Although, most of the time I learn something from the first try, and can apply it to the second try and it usually comes out better then I planned. Sometimes you just need to put it down for a while and come back to it fresh :-) Peace

Block it, finishing can make a world of difference in the finished project.
