Picture of Dunfallandy

 As I said in an earlier post today, here is a picture of Dunfallandy. Where the diamond starts to decrease is where you actually turn the work. It is those instructions that you just have to blindly follow, and trust that it will all work out in the end. Which, of course, it does. I remember the first time I did the first diamond, I was really worried that I wasn't working it right. 

Really old UFO

 I can't believe I have found a UFO that may (or may not), have been on the needles since 2015. Yes, that is right - 2015!!!!!  I didn't even know I still had it on the needles. I actually thought I had given up on it. The pattern is called Dunfallandy, by Teresa de Roulet. It was in the Knitty issue of that year. I can understand just why I hid it all this time, it is NOT a project for a beginner. Take a look, and read the instructions!!  You turn the 'diamond', and stay on a right side of work, and it is complicated. You really need to just follow the instructions, and trust that everything will come out right in the end. Talk about a challange!!!! It is going to look really nice once it is finished, but I gotta get there, and try to stay with it this time. Will put up a picture later. Dinner is about to be served.

Trying very hard to be good

 I really am trying very hard to not have too many UFO's on the go. I have done a light purge today, and freed up a few pairs of needles. Staying with one project until it is finished is proving rather difficult, though. There are just so many nice patterns, and I have so much stash to try using. But, I keep trying. Once I finished the Cable Factor Throw, I did start a few more projects, but those have since come off the needles. I like the patterns, but the wool I was using was just all wrong for those particular patterns. So, for now I am going to work on another Annie Maloney pattern. Means more cables to concentrate on, but it is working up nicely in the wool I have chosen to use.
