I was working on one of the Telemark sleeves last Wednesday at knitting group and I finished up the sleeve motif.
Then I discovered (actually "confirmed my worst fears" might be more accurate) that the sleeve was going to be too short. I hid the sleeve in my knitting bag until today. Couldn’t face reality. But… the time has come.
Adios, motif.
Time was now, right? Well, what a wonderful practice of the motif! Gorgeous work!
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but in the picture it looks like your lice stitch doesn’t line up about a third of the way up from the bottom. I hope that it is only the picture that makes it appear that way. It would be a shame to have all that hard work go to waste. Hope it all gets worked out.
