Doh!

Doesnt it look great?

Well, it didnt feel great. After a period of fierce denial and repeated counting, I finally realized the problem: I knit an odd number of short row sections on the leg portion, which made the whole thing off kilter. I had to rip back an entire naptime's worth of work. GRR!!! I'm back to working the leg now....its going to be longer than I had wanted but it will all be ok.

Secret of the Stole starts today! I printed out my instructions and chart already and now, I'm just hoping Webs will come through and actually deliver my yarn today so I can knit the clue up over the weekend. I dont know why I always expect webs to have speedy processing and delivery--I guess because most places do. Bella knitting, for example, shipped my order within 2 HOURS of my order. Webs took fourish days. I realize they are busy but four days? how long does it take a person to walk to a shelf, take two cones of yarn off of it, throw them in a box and stick a mailing label to it?

I do have some back up yarn (Lornas Laces Helen's Lace in a lovely burgundy color); however, since my swift is in storage, I am not relishing winding 1250 yards of laceweight by hand since I will most likely end up with a 52 dollar silk/wool knot rather than a stole.

Hey Chick,

Now that you are here - you should Google "White Rock Weaving." Great little store down in Dallas and she has cones and cones and cones of lots of different fibers. It's a great little store - down east of downtown.
