Last week I made the decision (while writing last Monday's post) to rip out that second side and start over. I got it fully frogged and restarted when it was finally time to leave. And while I did some work on it on the plane, I'm not quite to where it was before I ripped it out.
(Sorry about the background. I did not pack my off-white fabric that I use for photos.)
Ta-da! Flat.
Of course, I ended up ripping it back a bit on the first leg of my flight. And when I arrived. But I've still made some solid progress.
Now I'm eyeing the first side...
I may rip it back a couple rounds. I'm not sure. I'll see how it goes.
My sister-in-law is impressed with it thus far. I'm not sure how I'm going to make it sweater-shaped, but that's not at issue at the moment. Getting this oval to lie flat is. But at least I got some good feedback.
My crochet companions so far have been Shadow...
...who became fascinated with the yarn and leapt on it (and on me). I yelped and jumped. His claws were out, but he didn't scratch me.
And then there was Delilah...
...who basically just wants attention.
I haven't gotten pictures of Winter or Calliope (the other cats) or Artemis (the other dog) yet. It's been a timing thing.
So, sort of progress, but since I'm out of town and not on my usual schedule, I don't know how much I'm actually going to accomplish. But hey, I didn't leave it at home, so it will be more than if I had left the yarn behind.
