When I started knitting, I never thought I'd be the type of person with the patience to quietly un-knit hundreds of stitches to remedy an error made rows earlier. And yet, with this piece, that's what I've done. It's the most challenging pattern I've attempted to date, I think it's looking beautiful, and I've found myself at peace fixing mistakes, of which there have been many. It's very zen.
Since I last shared this, I re-started it on smaller needles, and it looks so much better than that hot mess. I have knit two and a half repeats of the seven required repeats of the basket weave. I always think that knitting is such a slow process, but I know if I just work on this a bit more consistently I will see results. Watch this space.
