Finally Starting Over

I haven't had a lot of energy lately. That's one of the reasons the eye sweater took as long as it did. And now that it's finished, I've had issues figuring out what to work on next. 

I finally pulled out an older project...

Back in January, I had to frog a project that had gone awry. This one:

I managed to restart it and get it to here:

It may not look like a lot, but those rows are tricky. I'm giving myself the space to do it slowly. I've got the time.

    1. The idea of frogging it is not fun, but the actual ripping of stitches? Kinda fun.

  4. I like that bright color. A good time of year to have something like that on your lap while you work, once it's bigger that is!

    1. This is smaller, so it won't be that warm for me.

    1. It's actually neon yellow, but it does have that green tint.

    1. It's actually a neon yellow. But it reads green on screen.

  9. It's better to do it slowly to get the pattern right. I'm hoping to start crocheting this week.

    1. It's one of those that should go slowly. If I wanted a quick knit, there are other patterns to use.

  10. Just testing commenting. I tried to post one on Tuesday's post, but there was an "internal error." Now the comment option isn't even there. Maybe you changed settings (although I believe you are at work right now), or I am getting paranoid that someone somewhere doesn't like your new post!

    1. Oh no, that was me. I decided to turn off commenting on that post.

  11. It feels like this whole year (especially the last week) has been exhausting.

  12. That's a great color for a frog. Hope it works out!

  13. Initially I thought the design looked like Ganesh, the elephant trunked god of India.

    1. It'll make more sense once I've gotten more of it done.
