Once Upon a Looking For Donna
You know what is not chasez? Ripping out the neckline 3 times. I ripped it out once because I had forgotten to do the vee neckline decreases along with the raglan shaping. I ripped again again because I had decreased unevenly and one half was wider than the other. The last time I ripped out because I screwed up the decreasing again. However, the third time is the charm and I've finished the front of "Donna." YAYE!!!
I've decided to do a more interesting ribing on the sleeves of Donna. I was initially pondering a cable rib pattern, but after perusing Knitting on the Edge with great lust, I've decided on a ribbed pattern called "Jump Over the Broom." It should be v. sexy. I'll post pictures as soon I get cracking on it.
I'm about 3 inches into the back of "Donna" which is now my public transport knitting again. Bus/subway knitting is anything fairly mindless where you can stop mid row and you won't lose your place. Socks can be good, because they're small, but I am skilled at snapping my DPNs which is a problem. Ah well. Maybe my girlfriend will get some socks out of me as well.
