Third Time is a Charm! 
Well this is the third attempt at the “Hanging Garden Stole” from knit picks dot com, aka mom’s cruise stole. I figured out what I had been doing wrong. I had been scrambling the order of the rows. So what I did this time was to use a sheet of “Glad Press’n Seal” wrap on top of the page protector that the pattern sheet is in. Whenever I complete a pattern row, I use a sharpie marker and draw a line threw the directions. Then I know to always do the row just bellow my markings.
Now I have a supply of extra page protectors and normally would just mark directly on it. But this stole has a total of 13 pattern repeats, and going threw 13 page protectors is a bit much even for me. So I decided, yesturday when having to start over for the third (and hopefully last!) time to use the “Press’n Seal” over the page protector. Badda bing, badda boom, problem solved and it’s working just great!
With the cruise not until June what’s my rush? Well Mom is wanting it in time to show it off and maybe drum up some knitting business. (I didn’t know I was in business…lol) That plus this is my Team DBN training meet project and the meet is from last friday until this coming sunday. So I would like to be done with it, all but the blocking that is, no later this coming sunday. That way when Mom and I go to the Indian Casino the week after, I can give her the stole.
