Disaster and a Cardboard Jungle

This past weekend was Knit Camp. What is Knit Camp? It is what is sounds like, a sleep away camp, with cabins and a mess hall! This is year number 4 and it was a blast. We put the tables around in a square, everyone had their Ott Light and the knitting festivities began Friday night. People bring treats and I brought a case of Diet Coke (a necessity).

I worked on a "simple" pullover, short-sleeved sweater with lace on the edge. I am making it in a salmon pink color. The back...finished and I had the front finished to the arm hole shaping when I got to camp...until something got crazy. Here's what it will look like.

I worked on it Friday and about 3/4 of Saturday and then things went wrong. I was getting the wrong stitch counts, so I started the front panel back. I ended up ripping out the entire front of the sweater because I could not get the right stitch count.  Not exactly a Hindenburg type tragedy, but it was still pretty ugly. Still, I'd rather it was done right than have the sweater be wrong and not wear it.

Knit Camp itself was fun and I'm still glad I went. I made these little sheep for a purpose I didn't know about...

They were game pieces for a game called Yarnopoly, created by Carol Myers! It was a blast to play!

My move is hopefully coming together...I think I might have some paid movers. This will greatly ease my mind. I have been so overwhelmed with everyone who has offered to help me with me move. Once again, friends are awesome!
