Okay, so I was going through my old posts to give the review of this particular project when I stumbled across a previous title. Rawr. And I just couldn't not. It's R day, after all. (I mean, "Redoing the Dragon" is not a bad title, but Rawr? Come on!)
Right, so this is a project that I've been working on for a couple years now. And all it is is a swatch.
Originally, I had bought the pattern (because how could I not?) and tried it out. So, since then I've had this knitted piece just sitting around with no thing to be. I decided to make another, and then I'll put the two pieces together. Only, the third try hasn't gone as smoothly as the first two.
Last week I finally pulled it out again. And I made some progress:
The last time I worked on this, I got to here:
Progress.
We'll see if I get any further this week. It could happen. (But I'm back at work this week, so less time.)
In review, I pulled this out a while ago, got it almost completed, and then I had to rip it almost all the way out and start over. There were some glaring errors that I could not fix any other way. (I tried, but I made more of a mess.) But before I could really get to it, I got distracted by other projects.
It's been sitting around, just waiting for me to give it some attention again. Fingers crossed. Maybe I'll get it done this time. Maybe.

You’ll get it done. I have confidence in you.
ReplyDeleteHopefully. Eventually.
Delete"Rawr." Much better than "Redoing the Dragon." Thumbs up!
ReplyDeleteYou'll get er done! You don't really seem to procrastinate much.
ReplyDeleteAs I was looking through my posts for this dragon, I intended to work on it *last* spring break and did not. It's been sitting around for a while.
DeleteRawr, the power roar of the crafty! Relax and release your energy; you'll get rolling and will rapidly get it done.
ReplyDeleteHopefully. Maybe. At this point, I can't say as it's been sitting there, waiting for me, for a while.
DeleteOh, I remember how incredible your blue dragon was! I like this bright green, very dragon-ish.
ReplyDeleteIt's an amazing pattern. I do love it.
Deletethecontemplativecat here. I feel your pain. I was learning to install a zipper for the first time in a dress I was making for 4-H project. I ripped that sucker out 7 times. Mom felt sorry for me, and put it in, first try. It was be good to see your completed project.
ReplyDeleteThat's too bad. She should have let you do it. That's a lot, but the only way we learn is by making the mistakes.
DeleteRawr! Just so. Hear you roar! @samanthabwriter from

Thanks.
DeleteThe dragon pattern is fabulous - hopefully you'll get it knit again without any need to redo.
ReplyDeleteUm, well...
DeleteOh I hope you can complete it, not sure if I ever mentioned this but I use to work for Vogue Knitting.

Oh really? How cool.
DeleteMy mother couldn't help herself when it came to cook books.
ReplyDeleteI know you'll get it done. I'm trying to downsize a pattern and had to rip out my work yesterday.
