Jul. 21st, 2013 09:48 pmThe good: Made progress on the grey shawl (the one for my mom). Granted, it took several hours of "I really should work on this... but ooh, I could refresh rav / dw / tumblr / facebook / paint-drying-gif" procrastination, but still. Made it partway through row 15!
The bad: I did row 13 where I should have done row 14, which was an easy mistake to make *and not notice* because 12 and 13 and 14 were all "* shell in shell, ch6, (sc in next loop, ch6) $manylots times to next shell, repeat" but with varying numbers of $manylots -- apparently I have problems counting over three, or something -- but that meant I did 14 where I should have done 15, and 15 is different enough that I could neither a) do row 15 as written on the following row, nor b) fudge things.
So, I said many bad words, ripped back -- it's only a row, but still -- and did row 15 in the proper place.
Between the two, I am starting to suspect there is a part of my brain that maybe doesn't want to make this shawl. *wry grin*
(also, her birthday, which made a nice soft deadline, is in a few days, and there are 22 rows and then two rounds of edging, so I suspect it is not going to be done quite in time.)
