Last week I said I was going to put aside my
Outlander Cowl...
But I didn't and I think I have finally "gotten it"!
Can you believe it - after all this time - after all that frogging.
It looks just like the picture on the pattern - well, close enough.
I love this pattern and the color of this yarn, I'm so happy I didn't give up!
This is the lace part and it is lining up perfectly.
What ended up helping me the most, was using stitch markers at the end of each repeat,
which was 10 stitches.
That was it - it helped me to memorize the pattern and not get too far in to a mistake.
But honestly, after placing the markers, I didn't make any more mistakes.
they guided me and gave me the confidence I needed.
I am so proud!!
You may be thinking that the pattern is not that complicated, and it probably isn't.
But I have MS and my brain is compromised, concentrating is difficult for me,
and memorizing even a 10 stitch repeat is as well.
Here's what it will look like when it's done, I am almost half way through the lace.
And if I could look like her while I'm wearing it...
well - that would be really awesome.
