Kiri
Posted By Laura on May 17, 2009
Yesterday I finished knitting Kiri. How exciting. So, today, armed with my welding rods, I decided to try and block it. First, the inevitable soaking.
And goodness me. The designer of Kiri was absolutely right. She said that wet kidsilk haze (or in this case kidsilk night) would be like dragging a wet cat out of water. And she was right. It was horrible. Yuck. Anyway, I took it out and used the welding rods but I made a boo boo. I was blocking the picot edge wrong. Argh. I was not happy. I undid the whole blocking and stomped off downstairs. Having looked at pictures, I now know that to get my picot edge right I need to pin it out at the yo, k1, yo rather than the sk2p that the pattern said. I think that would work much better. Oh yes. But that won’t be until next weekend now as I need the blocking area (ie my bed) before it would be dry. Gah.
In other news, I bought some pretty flowers yesterday. It is horrible weather so I thought that some nice flowers would help make the day a little bit brighter.
And it did. It was not a nice day at all. The rain was horrible. But I managed a smile 
Helped a friend make a granny square out of crochet. I think I may make a tutorial for it. Yes. But again, probably next weekend. I have lots of reports to write for school this week.
Beautiful flowers! Isn’t it amazing how something so small can make a huge difference in your mood
Good luck with your reports.
I’m so grateful for you teaching me how to crochet. Really, really grateful!
