It gave me the chance to tell my students "Oh, Miss Angie had to rip out over a hundred stitches last night! And guess what the worst thing was? I got to knit again! And knitting is FUN!" Well, you get the idea ;)Lacework DOES get easier (probably in proportion to the length of toddler naps) and you DO start to memorize the patterns. then there is no stopping you :)Indigo, madder, marigoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12372974793502148635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9218602897331908767.post-38374356619640353872010-02-03T12:38:40.060-05:002010-02-03T12:38:40.060-05:00ooooh that block is absolutely FABULOUS!
