Things are NOT going well at Chez Chibisan...Yes, I found a pattern for Mom's socks, and am cruising right along...But, a girl can't live on feet projects alone, right? So, I decided to revisit the summer sweater from Rebecca that I started months ago. When I knit the front, everything worked out beautifully. But then, the back instructions were complete and total jibberish to me. I emailed Marcia Cleary. She and I go round for about 3 emails, and I can't exactly explain what happened on her end, but she kept asking me if she had ever sent me the solution. Long story short, I never got an explanation. Don't misunderstand me... she obviously is a busy lady, and I also saw one of her designs made it to VK. Ok, so then I had done about 6 inches of more of that dratted ribbing when I discovered I had done it incorrectly...rrrrrrip! I do it again. I throw said project in the corner to let it pout. I pick it up today and am 1" from the start of the lacework, and see that I had done the ribbing wrong AGAIN!!! RRRRRIP!! So, I am doing said ribbing for time #3. And my solution? Make the back the same as the front and get this biotch off the needles!

Been there - some days I look at the instructions and go "What the f***!!!???". Makes no sense. Leave it for months, come back to it and go, "oh I get it". Other times, still no lightbulb, so I make it up. Otherwise, it's a great excuse to find a new project to start
