It’s Random Wende, Wedesne…..aw, hell

Hi all! It’s Random mid-week! Welcome and make yourselves to home. We’re very informal here.

Since it’s Random Wendesday. Aw, you know. We’ll be entirely random. K???????

I am still knitting on the edging of the PurplePi.  I gotta tell you this is a bunches of stitches on the needles.  I am determined to finish this shawl.  It’s pretty, but I lost interest and I finally figured out why.  It’s superwash.  I knew that going in.  It’s not a surprise, but I don’t think I’ll be able to block it out much.  Still, I don’t know why that made me hesitate.  I do know this baby is going to be finished.  It’s just not going quite as quickly as I had hoped.  It takes me about four hours to finish a row.  I’m still not losing focus.  And, since you all know me, wish me luck;-)

I did take a picture of it, but it looks pretty much the same as it did the last time I took a picture.

The color is washed out (my apologies, once again), but it shows the edging which doesn’t really show yet.  I have increased the stitch count by 50% on the first row and another 50% on the third row.  We’ll see if I need to increase much more from there.  I’m hoping for an undulating lacey, but not real lacey edging.  It’s alot of stitches for an experiment, but that’s knitting isn’t it?  Even when I follow a pattern, there is always a bit of the unknown.  Either my interpretation or my inability or lack of desire to follow a pattern.  It all makes for an experiment.  I think that even when I follow the pattern to the letter (at least I think I did), it’s never a sure thing, is it?

And, since it’s Random Wednesday and I haven’t been all that random, here’s the soundtrack for the day.

The Byrds from “Easy Rider”………”I Wasn’t Born to Follow”

Have a good one!!!
