The Tangle

No, I did not touch the sweater last week. It was part dread of attempting Kitchener stitch (and failing), and part just no time to devote the mental energy. 

So, I pulled out the beanie...

I am at the decreases at the top, so it's almost finished. Yay. 

And then I can tackle that skein. 

See that tangle of yarn at the top of the picture? Somehow, while I've been knitting along on the beanie, the skein fell apart. 

And I can't wait until I finally finish this beanie so I can wind that tangle into a ball or something. It's making me a little crazy. 

Soon, now.

And maybe this week I'll get started on the sleeves of the sweater (and bind off the ribbing for the front and back).

    Argh, I don't knit - but understand its almost impossible to work with a mess on the side, it's so distracting!

      Nothing has knotted yet, but yeah, it's annoying me.

    Tangled mess, even without knots, is still a mess. Not a favorite activity of mine, either.

      If I wasn't so close to finishing, I'd just take the time to roll it into a ball. But I'm so close...

    Hopefully you can roll it into a ball without any snags.

    It's cool you're almost done with the beanie. I was visiting family, so I didn't get any crocheting done for a bit. I hope to get back to my baby unicorn soon.

    I have always admired the patience that people have to knit and crochet. I can do neither I have zero dexterity skills LOL. But i use to work for Soho Publishing who put out Vogue Knitting, Knit Simple and Noro magazines.

    I was an assistant art director there neither I nor the art director knit. But everyone else there did.

    Good luck with your project!

      I love Knit Simple. Or loved. Is Knit Simple still publishing? They had some great patterns.

      At the moment it's still smoothly giving my yarn, hence my reluctance to mess with it.
