At least I think I am, but I am about to give up. I just can't seem to get my head around her chart for the center motif. Can you help, please? I can't figure out exactly where the knit2tog and SSK stitches are. Are they adjacent to the Lifted Increases or is there a knit stitch between them? Also, how did you do the side by side lifted increases over the no stitch area? Any help you can provide would be so much appreciated. I am making the Torgeir in size 4.

Nothing wrong with escapist fantasy reading now and then! I know you will be much happier with Jacob’s sweater now — it’s such a gorgeous color, too, so re-knitting isn’t such a bad proposition.

Anyone who earns a comparison to Robin Mckinley (By Peter Beagle, no less!) is worth a read in my book. :) Hope the knitting mojo returns!

You wouldn't want him wondering why you were glaring at "him" every time he wore. He might develop an aversion of handknits! I also switch between reading and knitting jags. But mysteries and travel memoirs are my thing. I totally agree with you on the reason for ripping Jacob’s sweater and starting over.

I can't imagine untangling lace. Good luck with the wrap and sweater!!! You need a quick knit on the side so you get some sense of accomplishment as you work on the other projects!!!

I have phases of total knitting absorption, but then I don't want to knit at all for a while and have phases of total sewing absorption. I have to remember what happened to the total reading absorption that used to run my life... You know, I really think your fingers just need some time off sometimes.

I did that once with Lorna`s Laces Helen`s Lace and than wound it manually as I did not have a ball winder then. But the color is absolutely gorgeous. Maybe you will really enjoy the yarn if you knit in small doses. Auch, untangling the silk lace must have been painful.
