Not much got accomplished this weekend other than knitting. The weather was kind of yucky, so what better to do than sit on the sofa and knit?
I was nearing the end of Ms. Marigold, so I was a woman obsessed. I tend to get that way at the beginning and end of of a project.
Ms. Marigold got finished, but I'm not completely happy with it. The torso is a little long, which isn't a biggie, but the ribbing around the neck is too loose. This was my first time picking up stitches, and I think I picked up too many. Oh well, this is all a learning process, right?
After I took those pictures it occurred to me that I could rip the neck ribbing off and knit it again. I wish I had thought of that before I had woven in all the ends! It took me a while, but that's exactly what I did. So, I guess Ms. Marigold isn't finished after all.
That's okay, I have a new knitting companion to share the sofa with. That's my girl!!
