Reprioritizing Projects
May 3, 2007
Now that spring has sprung, I’ve shifted a few projects around. My Lizard Ridge wool afghan is on the backburner. I’m now focusing on my cozy shawl. I’m about a third of the way done. I really struggled with this one at first. I was worried that the project was actually beyond my ability. I started it at least three times. I used stitch markers to help me realize if I messed up a pattern repeat. (Did not help.) I counted my stitches at the end of each row. (Did not help.) I was on the verge of giving up when everything finally clicked. And the shawl is turning out beautifully!

About Me
Welcome to my spot on the web where I talk about needlework, crafts, and [many] other random things.
A few tidbits about me: I met my husband in college, flirting over tuba letters in the Penn Band. Our dog, CJ, and our cat, Sabrina, round out our family. I'm a sewist, knitter and needlepointer, and an occasional scrapbooker. I love organizing, reading, making jewelry, and hiking. A Chicago girl at heart, I am an avid follower the Cubs, Bears, and Blackhawks.
