i will post a pic tomorrow, much too lazy tonight. i am EXHAUSTED b/c i have been staying up until the wee hours trying to figure out this lacy pattern that i wish i had never fallen for. i found it on knitty, and man it looks so good in the pics! so, i start before i realize that it's COMPLICATED beyond my nighttime knitting ritual. i usually start knitting around josiah's bedtime, so i'm already pooped. then, i put him in his racecar/bed/thing and i knit in the dark until he falls asleep. *what happened to falling asleep on his own, you say? well, there was Christmas and New Year's with parties and ppl galore, then dh left for training in Al and then the whole Duke University Eye Center and the ensuing ER insanity. SO, he's a bit off his schedule.* i tried to knit this thing in the dark, and OH MY GOODNESS it looked like i had, well, tried to knit it in the dark. very, very bad. i had to frog that thing over and over before i finally got it right. now i only have 1000 more rpts to do. i don't know if it's worth it, but it does look so pretty already...very shimmery and fringe-y. i'm knitting with bamboo straights and Patons Brilliant yarn. very pretty. i'll post a pic tomorrow! good night.
