This adorable little toy was supposed to be completed for my nephew's birthday, on August 3rd. Now it is almost October and what have I got to show myself? Even less than I had a month ago! I was nearly finished with the tail when I noticed that somehow I switched from knitting to purling. Usually this would be no big deal but I have been knitting on dpns so I wasn't sure if I was up for taking out the 5 rows of purl to try again. I got myself a glass of wine and felt a little confident so I took those bad boys out. I started knitting again and WTFox! I was "knitting" but my stitches were coming out as purls. So I said "Fox this!" and just cut it off right then and there.The last few days I have tried to work up some energy to start this project again. I know when I call Nephew Josh tomorrow he will tell me once more that I have had long enough to get this done. Oy.
There is some good news in my knitting world. I have set up a knitting room in my new apartment. I am waiting to find the perfect comfy chair on craigslist to complete the room but in the meantime I have my baskets, some of my favorite Marmie projects as inspiration, and a cozy spot.
A friend recently sent me some llama yarn from Argentina so as soon as I finish my fox I am going to make my first knitting room project something amazing. :-)
I hope all you knitters are celebrating more success than I am. Hopefully I will post a complete toy within the next two weeks.
