This morning I decided I should reblock my Battle Weary shawl to wear tomorrow to a masquerade ball - where I will be wearing a silver dress.
It's the only thing I have that will remotely coordinate with the dress. I've realized I need a "little black lace stole". There was not time to knit one, even though I have the black lace yarn.
As I was stretching it over the mats I discovered this:
So I dug out this wee bit of leftovers
then I added a new scar -this one is horizontal and not part of the design. Have you ever tried to duplicate stitch over a slipped stitches and garter pattern in fine yarn? Yeah, I knew it was hopeless to try and match it, especially with the yarn drying and toddlers waiting impatiently.
The scar stands out more right now as the item is wet but the scar-yarn is dry.
I'm going to chalk it up to battles. It's more character...
