so i bought this rilly rilly pretty yarn on ebay. it's 50% alpaca and 50% wool. in a dark rosy pink. it's a marolyn color. the woman has a pink kitchen for god's sake. and i love her for that. anyway. the plan was to knit her an afghan. she'd love it. then the yarn came in the mail. it's lace weight yarn! ye gads! how the hell had i missed that in the description on ebay? so i looked at the description again. nothing. nada. those bastards didn't say anything about how effing fine this yarn is! so i'm back to square one. i thought i would make a shawl. it's like an afghan, but instead of on your lap, it goes around your shoulders. the same, only different. so i started it. it looks like crap. there is no way in hell i can give this to someone who loves me. you can kinda see in the pic the garter stitch is crooked. how the hell i managed to make a garter stitch crooked, i'm not sure. so i'll have to keep this one. (i can't bear to rip it, i just can't do it) and i'll do the next one in moss stitch. that should be enough structure to not look like crap.
