February 2

I downloaded a new pattern Friday evening and began working on it yesterday.

As of this moment, this is how far I've gotten into the design. (Spoiler alert: it's pretty fine yarn, so "not very far at all.") I can handle fairly complicated instructions, but this one is proving to be particularly involved and I find myself repeatedly referring to the pattern for stitch-by-stitch guidance. So it's been very slow-going.

But I'm enjoying the process and the challenge. I'm not exactly someone who seeks difficult things to conquer and overcome so it's a blessing to have a visual reminder that challenges can sometimes yield not just palatable but pleasing results.
