Bird Splat

September 22nd, 2006 · 11 Comments

The response to my previous post has been overwhelming. I have loved hearing about all the great reasons for blogging. So many of you have also encouraged me to not let one woman ruin what could be an otherwise great group of knitters. Thank you so very much!

In the meantime, I have turned my ire on the bird. I am not happy with the look of the peacock eye. The top of the eye looks, well. . . , like crap.


I have hired an attorney to file for a separation. Only when this bird learns to fly right, will I consider taking her back into my good graces.

    Hmmm, I don’t think it looks crap! But you know my ability with lace….I think you are amazingly clever - keep going!

    Do they have a new subsection of law for knitting issues like misbehaving patterns? LOL

    Nope. I see no crap here. You’re too close to the project. If you’ve got the time, stick it in a cupboard somewhere for a while and let it marinate so you can come at it with fresh eyes.

    Is this boogelly part the top of the holey part, or the ponty top bit???? I am a bit confused!! I think you deserve the Nobel Prize for Lace Designing anyway!!!

    I don’t think it looks like crap - and I say kudos to you because I find lacework **way** too daunting.

    No worries - just block it to within an inch of its life.

  • AR // Sep 23, 2006 at 11:14 am

    I don’t see the crap, either. You could just block the heck out of it later. hehe

    I hope you guys can work this out.

    I’ve had a few break ups with knit items myself and it’s never pretty.

    I must be a dodo bird, because I can’t for the life of me figure out what is wrong with that Peacock eye. Do I get to see it next week?

    Crap? I don’t think so - I like it… better than I could do by about a zillion.
