Going to the Frog Pond...
Tell me, can you see the mistake I've made? Come on, look closely.... If you haven't figured it out, let me show you. It should look like this. I must have flipped it somehow and worked the WS as if it were the RS.

It's not like I'm that far into this project but I hate to rip out work that's taken me so long to accomplish. If I continue on, leaving my mistake, it will haunt me every time I wear the FO. Or, worse yet, I will never wear the FO-- I hate to do that since I love the pattern sooooo much. So I guess there really aren't any other options-- I will frog to the point of where the raglan increases begin and make sure to be very aware of the RS this time around!

Look at this little contraption! Love it! It's now waiting for it's counterpart to arrive from Joann's (with free shipping & a 50% off coupon it only ran me $30!). This yarn was wound into a neat little "yarn cake" in under 2 minutes. How could any knitter not love that!? No knots to untangle. No need to coerce the BF to hold his arms out for extended periods of time to help with the ball-winding process. No more time taken from my knitting. It's knitter's freedom in a 9oz package-- sweet!

I'm thinking about CO for the Fitted Tank to give myself a break from the agony of ripping my Puff Sleeve Feminine Cardi. I think it'll actually be a quick knit, but we'll see. Sometimes I'm a knitting Speed Racer and sometimes I'm a knitting slug. I'm an unpredictable knitter. It keep you all on your toes ;-)

I knit this last weekend for a soon to be born bebe...

I may have to knit one for myself this winter. I'm serious.

Where did you get the pattern for the adorable hat? It's precious! I just found out that a friend is expecting and that would make a great gift!

That hat is way too cute! Sorry to hear about the ripping that must take place. I think that cupcake hat needs to be put on my needles because I may have to match you!! Hope you are well. Love the winder too.

Have to mimic everyone and say the hat is adorable!

Love the new toy. Play with it well ;-)

Sorry about the frogging. Did a bit (okay a lot) of that this week.

The hat is awesome. And congrats on the ball winder - I love mine dearly. And condolences on the cardi. It looks great, except, well, you know.

Very cute hat! Ball winder/Swift are the best devices ever! They make life so much easier.
