(So NOT) Mindless Knitting

Okay, so I'm almost done with the hot pink cardigan. Yippeeeee! Soooo, I decided to get started with another project. Knitting lulls are death for any knitter.

Here's the new project. Last week I saw the perfect yarn. It's kinda shimmery and light-weight. Yesterday I bought it in a pearly- blue tone (photo pending). I was so psyched!

Alright, this was my logic. Since the hot pink cardigan has a lacy pattern, I thought I'd try a more challenging pattern. After all, I've risen to the occassion so no biggy, right? WRONG! Huge biggy.

I've started with the lacy part and have already had to rip back three times!! It's really slow cuz you can't make the slightest mistake. You can see by the photo that there are four different patterns in each row. To top things off, my gorgeous yarn is really slippery, so it doesn't hold the stitch for long when I have to rip back. x(

Right now I'm working 4 rows at a time and everyone is forbidden from talking to me while I knit. hahaha

All I can think of is that I must be insane. I'll keep you posted on my progress :)
