Frustration comes in beautiful colors!



Forgive my poor pictures, lack of skill is the only excuse! This is as far as I've gotten on the Triinu shawl. Pretty pathetic. I'm having trouble on a couple of things. First these Signature needles. The Yarn Harlot was so tickled with them, of course I had to have a pair too. They just slip right out of my hands and my stitches with the blink of an eye! Pretty frustrating for a first time lace project. I was sorry that I didn't have a set of size 3 Brittany needles for this project. I think they would not be so slippery.
Second, I'm really struggling with these nupps. The instructions in the book are very clear and easy to understand. They should be easy, but not for me yet. I will keep going, no matter how slowly.
Right now I'm going to set down with a glass of wine while my husband cooks my dinner and work on my Pomatomus sock that is coming along very nicely, thank you. I have to try to keep up with my KAL! Photos soon (hopefully good ones).
