I didn't work on any stitching last night as I was excited to start working on the little one's blanket. Well, let's just say it wasn't very nice. The yarn I bought is a "fuzzy" type and I was having one hell of a time making sure I had the correct number of stitches in a row. After 4 hours of frustration I admitted defeat. Good thing I had a back up plan just in case this happened! I bought some variegated yarn with neutral colors. I know this yarn won't give me problems as it is the same as the one I made for Krissy.

I was happy to work on some stitching today after that fiasco last night .:) Today was Harvest Witch day for me. To look at it you wouldn't think I made any progress but let me say there is a lot of back stitching in this design!



Have a great night!

Oh Dawn - Harvest Witch looks spectacular!!

Sounds like you did well with your May goals!

Sounds like the back-up plan for the blanket will be a no-brainer :)

I know, aren't those fuzzy yarns the worst for keeping count? I tried to do my first knitting project with one of those eyelash yarns and it was so bad that my mother-in-law, who agreed to finish it for me, had to rip everything out and start again. She's such a sweetheart. I can see all of the backstitching that you've already done on Harvest Witch. Really makes all of the details stand out nicely.
