January Wrap-up

It's been a busy knitting month.  I finished an entrelac scarf that was started on Christmas.  Started and finished a lace shawl. and started an entrelac shawl.  I wanted to redo the cuffs on a pair of socks.  That isn't going to happen though because of the heal that has developed on them from washing and wearing them.  I have also rounded up my WIPS and decided whether or not to frog them.  All but one was frogged because I was either: sick of it; lost the pattern; or it was something that was in time-out so long for not cooperating I forgot where I was.  Only one project survived.  I also started to organize my patter leaflets and printed patterns.  Stage 2 has yet to happen yet. 

While working on the lace shawl I learned about the importance of placing lifelines.  I also learned to NOT use waxed dental floss when placing a lifeline.  It just doesn't work.  Next time I do lace I will definitely place liflelines with something more slippery.  Of course all my projects are on Ravelry.  How did one survive without Ravelry?
