WIP Wednesday (Almost a Hat)

Click now for JiffNotes

I have made some progress on my Silver Rose (Rose Red by Ysolda Teague) since last week.
 
If I knit half as fast as half of you, it'd be done by now. But I'm a very slow knitter. And, of course, I knit on a couple other things, resulting in no VISIBLE progress...and I stitched on some things. *sigh* If only I were project-monogamous (projnogamous??), I'd probably have a lot more finishes. But that's just not the way we roll here at the LottLoft!

Actually, I thought I was really close to being finished--round 51 out of 57!!!--but then I flipped the page and saw another chart.

Rats.

Oh, well, 51 out of 72. Maybe you'll see this one next Wednesday, too. =)

By the way, I detest weaving in ends (I'm sure I'm the only one. No? =) so I used this trick from TECHknitting when I started my second ball. AWESOME!! Although I'm pretty sure I messed up the second part, because I had to do it twice...and I ran into some snags when I had to purl (i.e., WHAT DO I DO NOW???). But I made it work. And I'll probably be doing this from now on!

51 out of 72 doesn't sound too bad too me - you're past the halfway point! :)
I tried reading that techknit post but I started to slip into a coma by the second paragraph so I didn't catch on to what the actual technique is. Drats. Someone needs to JiffNotes it for me. lol
