work can just wait...

Finally! after many restarts to admit and a lot and I mean A LOT of intense studying of other's works in progress and finished results and rereading all the advice I got...


I was so excited that I couldn't wait to make it the right length so I made it a normal headband(though now that I'm in the loop over what to do, I'm sure I'll make another one that can be worn in varying ways)


and an artsy shot of me in it, even though it's a little cut off, I wanted an "action" shot


and on a side note, I finished Pink Carnation slightly disappointed but now I can focus on Neverwhere which I've yet to hear anything bad about.

an update...sort of

I must be the slowest Puff ever cause I'm still, yes still having yarn wrapping problems with my dream swatch. sigh. and I'm getting a little discouraged, even putting it to the side and picking up other projects. which I don't want to do and try to keep myself going by looking at everyone's finished work hoping it will make determined to figure this out.

off to a "meh" start

So I cast on for the Dream Swatch earlier today and I remembered why I put this project on hold the first time I tried to make it...

"Row 6 (WS): *Slip 6 stitches with yarn in front
dropping all extra wraps, thus forming 6 long
stitches on the right-hand needle. Then, insert the
left-hand needle into the first 3 of these 6 stitches
and pass them over the second 3. Return all
stitches to the left-hand needle and purl the 6
stitches in the crossed order, the second 3 first,
and the original 3 next. Repeat from * on each
group of 6 stitches."



I've re-cast on several times(btw, I'm making it half as wide cause I have a small head) and each time I mess this part(the most important part) up.
yeah...it seems so simple, which is why I'm kinda frustrated that mine isn't coming out right. So if anyone can tell what I'm doing wrong,or knows another way to get the same results,please let me know.
