Due to an inability to read a pattern...

I did not get as much knitting on my Cinnabar Pullover this weekend that I had hoped to. On Friday I started decreasing for the armholes, and suddenly couldn't go any farther. The pattern just didn't make sense to me. I put it aside, knit on something else, and came back to it yesterday. Still not being able to figure it out I looked up the designer of Ravelry, and started to send her a messge....lightbulb moment....I'm glad that I did not send that message. While typing out the part that was confusing me it hit me what I was suppose to do. I'm back on track now, and am close to starting the sholder shaping = short rows. I <3 short rows. I'm really don't get why people are so afraid of them, but maybe that's why my stepmom calls me a fearless knitter. :)

I found a new website, 100 Pure Wool, where I can get inexpensive yarn. They have 440 yrd skeins of sock wool for $8.00 in some really pretty colorways. I may be purchasing some soon.

You and me both. I think being fearless is the only reason I've gotten so far so fast in my knitting and spinning!
