perseverance
perseverance - not too sure about the calmly and without complaint bit, but definitely have the try try again down pat ;-)
behold the beginning of the bohus blue shimmer scarf -
how can 59 measly stitches be such a p i t a?
wanna see the back?
now i get to knit the second end!
actually looking forward to the plain blue seed stitch body...
i knew if i didn't pick the scarf up again right away, it would have disappeared into the black knitting hole, never to be seen again. after i googled intarsia instructions, it looks much better.
certainly has banished all thoughts of ever knitting a kaffe fassett from my blonde brain FOREVER!

Don't you dare let it go down the "black hole" ;-) It's gorgeous! But I'm glad it's you who is knitting it.
but it Is very beautiful! not being a fan of intarsia myself, i feel your pain though . . .
I'm glad you picked it back up as it will be a gorgeous scarf! It looks great so far.
Beautiful scarf!!! I love the Bohus designs. What creative women those designers were. Thanks for visiting my blog! I hope to finish the blanket this weekend!! Wish me luck.
But oh! so pretty! :)
Oh, my your opened a can of worms! where have I been? Kaffet Knitting- gosh, I'm so interested in Kaffet quilting I didn't know-of course, it's been awhile seeing his site! THANKS! your work is just an awesome WOW!
So glad you are persevering! I love the colors in your scarf and the texture, too....can't wait to see the blue seed stitch added to it.
It is so very beautiful - good luck, Vanessa :)
It's beautiful.
If it goes down a black hole, be sure the other end is somewhere near my house okay?
Oh, that's gorgeous! Kaffe knitting is different, intarsia vs fair isle, but either way, I love knitting things with lots of colors. I do believe his work made it so all the handpainted yarns came to be a big thing in his wake; it's a far easier way to play with colorwork on the needles. But anyway--I love that scarf, and if you ever want to ditch it, I know one knitter right here who would gladly pick it up out of the reject basket and finish it off for you.
I admire you for persevering. That sort of knitting makes my ass twitch. Consequently, I leave it to the brave ~ such as yourself. You go, Girlfriend!
OMG, its knit flat. I mean, I always suspected that but ... you're a brave, brave woman. It looks gorgeous, keep up the beautiful work.
It is art! Pure art!
...and you must suffer for your art!
Do you have to weave in all those ends?! Yikes!
mom you need a new post. you always complain when people don't update posts. bellydancing can't come first over knitting. and i haven't seen the blanket since you finished it. next fall i promised to call all the time and you have to promis to post all the time.
