I Have a Problem

Okay, I have several problems right now. But my immediate problem is with the Mendocino cardigan. While looking at the right front, I discovered this. Yes, one half of the stitch in that row sticking out. And yes, it's something like 30 or 40 rows from the bind-off edge. Fortunately, this stitch is only one stitch in from the edge, so I'll just rip out the cast-off edge, then tink down that row down to the loose stitch, and crochet it back up.

The total length comes to 71cm for the size that I'm making. I've chopped off 5cm so it won't be too long for me. Not a problem - that is on the bottom and the other pieces, except for the sleeves, will be of the same length. While reflecting on the pattern, I thought I had a serious problem because the curve seemed too small for the armhole, then I realized, that this is actually a saddle-shoulder drop sleeve cardigan. Doh! Slapping forehead. Anyway, onwards and upwards.

I'm off to visit the yarn store in Baltimore and see if I can find that elusive Trekking XXL #100 skein . . .

And oh, I need to practice my spindle-spinning . . . I've been asked by Laura N. to come in and give a demonstration to her Sunday School class. They're studying the life of Jesus, and this coming Sunday the topic is the Annunciation. Tradition has it that the Theokos was spinning some yarn when Archangel Gabriel came to her. So, it of course seems only logical for the children to see what people had to do back then - they couldn't just go to Wal-Mart to buy yarn.
