A lovely picture for you to look at, really hard...


before I rip this puppy back!

I got cocky and wasn't paying attention the second half of the stole. I was just kinda using what was already there as a guide. It looks like the area to the left, about 2/3 up from the bottom got messed up. I'm 2 stitches off and I it seems like it will be too difficult to figure out. So it appears that what progress I made with 'Clue 1' is as far as I am, since my frogging will proably go back to the begining of Clue 2.

So...I'm not quite ready to frog yet, but will do it soon so I don't fall futher behind!

But now to show something fun...look what I got in the mail yesterday!
Stitch markers I ordered at-where else?-Etsy!!! I got this from Knitaholic's shop. I couldn't pass up the crocheted bead stitch markers nor the girlie-motifed markers for my friend KnitBling. It is so her! (Kinda meant to be a surprise, but maybe she won't get to reading this before she gets them!) And yes, that is yarn you see pictured with the markers. Yes, it came in the package. NO, I did NOT buy nor order it! Knitaholic felt bad for forgetting to send the markers out immediately (they still got here pretty quick!), so she included it with my order! THANK YOU KNITAHOLIC!!! Too cool! Awesome handspun, no? Don't be hatin'!

I had a bunch of very ripe bananas and decided to make some banana chocolate chip cake. LE dictated "no chips". I split the recipe and put chips in 1/2 the batter, so now I must be off to find out how many offensive WW points the 1/32 of the recipe will cost me! Either that or rip back a row of the stole and see what it looks like. Or knit a few rows of my Serendipity. Or maybe I should really get to sleep, huh? Knitting lace is a veeerrrry bad idea this late at night and the knitting projects I want to work on right now is exactly that-lace! Uh, yeah...why does such inspiration strike at the most inopportune times!

PS-This, dear readers, is my good college buddy's new little one...I'm in love with this child! She is so absolutely adorable! So of course, some Cat baby socks for her with a matching hat-IF I ever get to them!

Seriously? Oh, man. Shakes my head and shoves a lifeline in mine just in case. (Only on row 79 'cause Lost was on last night.)

And that lovely little skein photographs beautifully too.

That baby is just precious!! Surely her cuteness will motivate you to make her a pair of socks!

Love the handspun and stitch markers too :)
