When Knitting Disaster Strikes
No no, don't worry, it's not Arietta.
Arietta is moving along slowly but surely, as I experience a wee bit of knitting project burn-out:
That's the second front piece. I'm usually all right about motivation for finishing off second pieces (except for that One Sock that keeps lingering. I really do plan to finish that someday). I think part of the problem with this is that it's the same 40 rows, constantly. Excepting the bottom pieces of course. I'm determined to finish this before I start any other projects, but I have to admit that the sock yarn stash is calling to me.
All right, the disaster. Yesterday, as I was going to put on a shoe, I caught the heel on the Icarus I had so lovingly draped over one side of my dining room table:
Yargh. I'm still in too much of a state of shock to even THINK about fixing this. Well, I guess that's not entirely true. I've at least pondered that a graft might just be possible. But then, I've never been good at getting my grafts to look nice. I have an extra ball of the alpaca I used to knit this, so I suppose ripping back to the beginning of the edging is possible... I don't know, but it doesn't bear thinking about for long periods of time. Part of me wants to throw it in a closet and deny all knowledge.
Okay, enough of the mopey stuff! Today is Miss Violet's (of Lime and Violet) birthday!
Happy Birthday Miss Violet!
It is, of course, her 21st birthday, right Miss V? ;) I hope your day is full of soft and yummy yarn-y goodness!
Coming soon: Mmm, sock yarn

Oh, ouch. I don't have the faintest idea what can be done, but I send the most heartfelt ouch your way. I would so do that sort of thing. Best of luck!
