"wisdom comes alone through suffering."

AESCHYLUS

sometimes little pearls of wisdom just seem to drop out of the sky! the above just happened to roll by me this morning and i must say, it sure hit the spot today!! my knitting and i have been suffering but i have to agree that i am learning throughout this process and project. 

i am knitting a sleeveless summer top with yarn from my stash (using stash in itself is a miracle!!). one would think that a sleeveless summer top would be a 'quickie' but, alas, it doesn't seem to be the case - it seems to be one step forward and two steps back, as in froggin'!

once again, my lack of attention has caused me grief! maybe i will learn to double check each and every row when knitting a lace pattern rather than every several inches - it would make life much simpler and i would get more knitting done! 

i've also learned that it isn't easy and rarely works to attempt to correct an unintended error by picking your way down only a couple of stitches for a number of rows!! if you find an error in plain, ol' stockinette stitch, it is pretty easy to accomplish this but with a lace pattern - not a chance! since i have tried to do this repeatedly on this top without success, hence the froggin', i hope this is another lesson i'll add to the ol' memory bank! well, at least until next time!!
