I know I said I was planning to finish the Empire Line cardigan by the end of May but…
.. yeah. That’s all that remains of the first sleeve. It was just knitting up way too wide. It’s suppose to be a bit of a bell sleeve, but this one was going to do some serious dinging. I knew I wouldn’t be happy with wearing it so big – so it was time to rip back and try again with a smaller size
But not quite yet. Here we are halfway through June… and I really need to get moving on the Fair stuff. So Empire is going into hibernation until at least September. Hopefully when I pull her out again, I’ll be super motivated to finish those sleeves!
Whoa….that was some serious ripping action!

Grrrrrr-nothing like a bit of a setback! Better to rip it out than wishing you had after the fact!
So…….on to Fair knitting!!!!!

Painful! Sleeves, for me at least, seem like 2 more backs. Will be interested in your Fair knitting though!

Eek! But it’s better to end the pain now, rather than keep working on something that you aren’t going to want, I guess.

By frogging now, you will be able to pick up the needles and yarn in September without dread. Enjoy finishing your knits,formthe Fair.

Your past 2 blog posts make me feel like I need to go watch some Star Wars now. I might just have to rewatch The Last Jedi to irritate my roommates since they like to tell me all the things they find irritating about it, while I enjoyed it and I do not cry like a sloppy mess — which is what I do when I watch Rogue One. In fact, I avoid Rogue One.
Good luck getting everything ready for the Fair. Cheering you on!
Also Blogger is driving me nuts. I’m struggling to abandon it though.
