But it should at least be presentable! This is the lesson (among others) that I took away from tonight's Stitch'n'Bitch meeting. I was cranking away happily on the Gryffindor scarf and somehow totally messed up three purl rows in a row (so, six total rows of stockinette). No idea what happened, but it looked nasty on the edges and there were three extra stitches each time - just a big oops!
So rippity rip, out it comes. Forgot to count the rows ripped. DOH! Two options now - either measure or count. Will decide tomorrow. Probably count, because even though it doesn't have to be perfect, I want it as close as I can get. Good friends are worth the effort.
Speaking of good friends, it was a real treat to meet all the gang tonight - I didn't catch everyone's names, (and don't want to do a Romper Room "magic mirror" here anyway), but suffice to say it was a genuine pleasure to meet all the ladies. Looking forward to the next one.
Oh - bonus news - picked up a pattern book today with a great design for Dad's cardigan (hey, I'm motivated; I can't start the sweater yet but I can at least pick a pattern!), and he likes the look of it. The only questions now will be colour and sizing, but don't need to deal with that for awhile.
And, as it turns out, blankie-assembly with crochet is dead simple but will take a bit of time. I see Sunday being spent over the kitchen table on this, but then the Endless Wedding Present will be Ended! Huzzah!
Ok, go to bed. Goodnight, fellow knit-wits.

Hello from Lissa! Don't worry about having problems at the meetup. I tore out all the work I did that night too. ;)
