I've been in a lot of yarn clubs over the past few years. I don't always do the projects in a timely manner. In earlier years some of the skills required were more advanced than mine. Sometimes I am in the middle of other knitting and the club project gets put off. Sometimes I just don't like the project and repurpose the yarn. (That's a chance you take when you join a yarn club.)
Here is a project that is only one year behind schedule. This is a Woolgirl kit from her Victorian Writers Club of last year. Even though I tried to keep up with that club, I failed. I really liked this project though. The shawl is called Pleasance and it's by Susanna IC. Back in January and February I participated in a Susanna IC mystery KAL. Once that was over, there was a choose-your-own Susanna IC crescent shawl KAL. I decided to knit this, therefore KALing and catching up on my kits.
I cast on February 29. So far, so good. I did 26 l-o-n-g rows of lace, including countless nupps. Then, early in the short rows, I messed up somehow. I could not recover. So I ripped this out. All of it! Including 26 l-o-n-g rows of lace with countless nupps. It's painful to think about! So I started over. And now, late July, five months after I started, it's done.
I think it was worth the wait.
