My Nurmilintu had a set back while ago, when I was nearing the end of the main section, the needle slipped and many stitches came undone. The shawl is knit in a beautiful but slippery and unforgiving yarn (The Natural Dye Studio’s Dazzle Sock in Dragonfly, 100% Bluefaced Leicester wool)… it was not possible to rescue. Frogged back by a significant chunk of the body and time-contumely picked the stitches up… sigh. Then re-knit.
Now the body is done and the shawl went to the side – got a bit stuck because I wasn’t familiar with the stitch for the border… Also, I didn’t like the pointy border that much. The border was rethought and I decided to go for a knit-on border. I found some tutorials and nice candidates, but stopped there…
I hope to gather the swing again and finish it in the near future!
Do you have projects that got you stuck?
Over the years I have had several projects that have foxed me. Some I have managed to finish but others have gone by the wayside.
Yes, I have to admit that I have some work in progress projects that have turned into UFOs….. 😉
Thanks for visiting!
Goo luck for that! I hope you can rescue it! I tried to knit Nurmilintu once and snapped up a beautiful ball of sock yarn for it that I had been saving for a special occasion …. After chopping out a lot of the colour parts (I wanted red for the lace and the rest in the other colours) I realised that NOPE! There wasn’t enough red. Ball of yarn ruined and shoved somehwere out of sight. I still have to make this pattern.
The part with the hole has been duly reknit and the whole body is done, only a border missing 🙂 I just didn’t have a pic of the shawl at the latest stage 🙂 here there’s hope that I will get on the border sometime soon!
I’m sending you some good vibes. YOU CAN DO IT!
Vielen Dank, das ist sehr nett von Dir!!!
Sehr gern! 🙂
