Thanks to a wise decision to participate in Work-in-Progress Wednesday, I not only found my mojo, but am inspired...Really Inspired... to live knit up to all the lovely coments I recieved on last weeks report.
Thank You. THANK YOU Very Much!

Lollipops are off the needles...
and Estonian Garden Lace rolls along.
I have completed one side and am ready to pick up stitches on the other side and move toward completion.
Only 78 rows ans 168 beads to be threaded left to go...
Allegheny is born
and just like a new mother, I am adjusting to a newness of a yarn that is not behaving the way I expect it to. 5 swatches later trying to get the right gage and we have found something that works. Shelter, the called for yarn for this dress, is all the rage at one of my Local Yarn Shops, but I'm rather thinking I should gone with my gut and chosen something different. As I stood in line with my arms craddling a bundle of the Faded Quilt colorway Shelter not at all liking the texture or elastisity of it, serveral other patrons of the LYS comented to me how WONDERFUL Shelter Yarn is... one even..reached out and touched it with almost a drool. I feel somewhat like that new mother that reads too many parenting books and forgets she has natural instincts to call upon when figuring out what works for her. Or perhaps, I am more like the teenager that sucumbs to peer pressure...
Either way, too much invested to turn back...and I do so love the colorway.
Find the good in everything you do and all things have a way of working out just fine...
...often even for the better.
