I am going to have to wait until Wednesday for my new needles to arrive, which is WAY too long so in the mean time I have been working on a new scarf. I had a very basic scarf pattern that my mom got me but I didn't like it and so I ripped it out since I really like the yarn and started this lace pattern instead.
I seem to have lots of problems with my work staying on side when I knit with circular needles. Luckily only one "line" is backwards. I need to figure out how to fix that, but I still have no idea.
I have been working away on the pattern, which I love. I feel like this would be a great red color too.
This is my first more complicated lace, and the girls from my lace board were right, you do need a quiet place and lots of concentration. Nevertheless, I was determined to learn to do with while talking on the phone. I mostly have accomplished this. I have learn to become very comfortable with ripping things out. For my next project I should probably learn how to use lifelines.
I'm now almost done. I ran a bit short on the yarn so I had to stop so one end is shorter than the other, but I think that is ok. It won't look too bad. I already tried to graft it together but about half way through I realized I had grafted the wrong sides together! GAH! So I ripped it out and I have not attempted it again. I will soon but I am just frustrated and I don't want to be rushed. It might be a few days until I get to it.

You can see at the bottom where it got turned around.
This side looks ok though. My 48 inch circular should arrive tomorrow so I can go back to my shawl! Yay!
