is for whah!
good knitting gone bad.
hmm, reality sets in. a soon to be 51 year old woman looks more like the grandmother rather than little red riding hood. but a teenage daughter will look fetching.
i can tell you that katmandu aran can take a frogging or two or three and still look great.
do-over.
next time a bottom up raglan. i couldn't get the yoke with the hood right knitting top down. hopefully third time's the charm.
not all is lost.
christmas stockings for son and tom.

and romi's amber shawl pin :-)

Did you upsize swallowtail? It looks much bigger. And it's beautiful, by the way.
Sometimes I wish my cable would go down! Then there would be more knitting and less shopping and project envy ;-)
My Arwen is still at the thinking stage! Not sure if it ever will be knitted.
Swallowtail is gorgeous!
Oh, Swallowtail! She's gorgeous. Well done!
Sorry about Arwen. But she will rise again like a phoenix, I'm sure! And still be finished before mine is! ;-)
Just good to have you back! Gorgeous knits as always. Too bad about Arwen.
Such lovely things! There is a certain theme to the colors.
Love Swallowtail. It looks good on her.
Swallowtail is B~E~A~U~T~I~F~U~L!
Just think how nice it will be to wear Arwen when you get it knit the way you want it.
swallowtail is gorgeous. i agree with carole -- did you upsize it? it looks like a nice size (i always thought swallowtail was a bit small for my taste).
as for arwen -- what a pain. at least you have a good plan though.
The Swallowtail Shawl is just beautiful.....where does the pattern come from?
Vanessa, your swallowtail is just lovely.
I can attest to the ripability factor. According to online sources the Katmandu aran is the exact same yarn as the Jo Sharp silk road aran. I don't think I want to admit to total ripability stress testing limits (I have some remnants of pride ::snicker::) but let's just say that it's more than one rip for the Jo Sharp...
Swallowtail looks gorgeous! (Is it for her or for you?). OUch, the ripping is painful, even to gaze upon.
Swallowtail looks so beautiful.
Great socks and the swallowtail is beautiful!
swallowtail looks lovely!
Yep, I love that Swallowtail, even gazing across all the way from rain-drenched Ireland. Now I'll have to check up on Arwen Evenstar too...

Everyone needs a Katmandu something - stuff is great - soft and forgiving.
Swallowtail is beautiful, especially on the dd :) You made me chuckle quite a bit - "Whah" is definitely part of the knitting vocabulary!
PS - the photo of the fur kids is wonderful - an "Ahhhh...all is right with the world" shot :)
