So I started out with a clean and loving heart wanting to give a knitted purse to my friend for her wedding day. Well, that damned purse has nearly driven me crazy. It/I was plagued with the, "I can't knit for S" and the, "can you count?" and the, "can you read?" blues. Every time I touched that thing it was a mess. I finally stepped away. It has come to this: I bought the yarn, I bought the silk, I bought the ribbon, so I AM giving her a gift. Did I knit it, no. My friend and master knitter JL, stepped in to save me.
In the interim, I did finish a, "One Row Lace Scarf" and have begun an "Irish Hiking Scarf," both of which have gone on without a hitch.
What do you think caused the purse mess??? I think it's because it was knit flat and I would have preferred it to have been knitted in the round. That was the first strike against it.
