Helygen Celli

Wipswrestling … two of my projects are finished.
The third one, the most challenging is frogged. Again! I give up! After completing the heel I noticed La Digitesse didn’t fit my feet. I made so many mistakes I was no longer content with it. I decided to frog again. Maybe I’ll start a third attempt in a few weeks or maybe next year - I am a bit frustrated right now …..

There is just one remedy…
Working some easy projects like a cot blanket, a tiny sweater for a newborn and off course cast-on a new sock! Looking in my stash Storm op Zolder’s Lentefee with her lovely colors made my heart jump of joy. After making a swatch I decided to use it for Grumperina’s Jaywalkers. A tricky choice with my frustration-level still high.

A year ago I tried this “classic” pattern twice; once it worked out to large with 2.5 mm needles, once it was to small with 2.0 mm needles. Now, the third attempt; knitting with 2.25 mm needles and 76 stitches cast-on seems to work! I really love the way the colors make tiny stripes.

The next days I would be knitting much. There is a blanket I have to sew together for the Peace Project. The 35 squares are waiting more then a month. I would like to finish it before Tuesday, so I can take it to the Stitch’nBitch evening in Zutphen.
