After frogging back to the ribbing twice, knitting with markers and without, and one backwards cable, the MustHave finally has made some decent progress.

Will that little pinch at the crossover flatten out? Please don’t make me go back…

This is the most complicated thing I’ve knit so far and is taking all of my concentation. I am getting into the flow of the pattern now, and can see which way the next cable is supposed to go and what row I’m on. This is making things a LOT easier. Practice makes perfect, I suppose (HAH). I really thought I might have to throw things in frustration yesterday. I mean: three different charts and increases at the same time?! I have found that chocolately rewards motivate me.

Betty might finally understand that Angus is not interested in eating her! He is only interested in eating her food. There was some sniffing today without any fits (most of this is due to Angus being the Best Dog in All the World). They are just going to have to suck it up and get used to each other since Betty has decided that she is an indoor kitty (open doors have no appeal for her, too bad my rugs do). If she would only stop doing this whenever this catches her by surprise.

Looking at the picture of my my sad, lumpy sleeve makes me want to pull it all out and start over again. Especially when I look at Rebecca’s gorgeous thing.
