Page two is the next-to-last page in my journey through the "Quaker Virtues" chart! I made an effort the past few weeks to focus on this and get to the join between pages two and three -- and page three is less than half of a page of chart, because of the diagonal corner. Whee!
My Camptown Sort-of Races scarf -- "sort of" because of course I'm not doing stripes, just letting the yarn go where it will, pools and all. I don't even remember when I started this, but it was at least during lock-down in 2020, as I knitted on it during Zoom meetings (!). It's an easy pattern, but also therefore easy to go wrong, because *you start daydreaming and all of a sudden think, "Oh no! I should have worked the pattern row way back there," rip it back, re-knit, repeat from *.
The 1909 Ladies' Mitts which I started back in July -- well, at least it was this year, ha-ha. I finished the first mitt a month or so ago -- it took so long partly because for some reason my brain just did not want to keep track of the stitch pattern, and I kept getting off and having to rip it back and figure out where I'd gone wrong, or to get that second stitch of Kfb, which I don't know if I'll ever understand how to pick up when I've inadvertently dropped it. With the second mitt, I bowed to Fate and used stitch markers after every repeat. I still have to tink back now and then to get a dropped Kfb, but at least it's obvious when I've gone wrong! I'm not crazy about either of these stitch patterns, to be honest, but the yarn is lovely to work with, so that's a plus. (For some reason, I decided to cast off the first mitt in purl, then changed my mind, but I haven't gone back to re-do it in K1, P1 rib yet, which is why I haven't woven in that last yarn end!)
