2010 FO 3 - Ishbel


Pattern:  Ishbel by Ysolda Teague (smallest size)
Yarn:  Lush yarn - color tomato - probably about 75gms
Started:  20th January, finished 22nd January

This is the first lace project I have ever really knitted.  I have to say that I followed the written directions for this pattern which is wonderfully written.  However, I will never knit it again when the following occurs:

- Children trying to talk to you
- Knitting late at night when you should be in bed asleep
- Doing a row and then coming back to it later

I originally started this pattern in another lush yarn which was a beautiful brown color and I got to the lace part and tried to knit it 4 times.  I got through Section A and B twice, dropped a stitch because one of the kids were talking to me and couldnt fix it.  After the third time of this happening I ripped it all out and started again with the tomato color.  No talking and more concentration helped too.  I do not think I will be knitting this again for a little while but I would like to try and knit one for Paul's grandmother who is 90 in April.  I think she would love it but I might try the shawl size next time!
