She's NO lady

Lady E
I knitted merrily along until I finished the 8th tier. Held it up to admire it...sooo beautiful with all that multidirectionality going on....hey...why does the right hand side look wonky...it MUST just be the way the entrelac pulls/biases the yarn right.....nooo...that looks like a boob sticking out of lower right corner...tier 3 & 4 specifically....WTF? wait, wait...where's the little triangle piece that's supposed to be at the end of the odd number rows? CRAP CRAP CRAP.....there is NO freakin way of fixing that....do I leave it and charge blithely on and hope no one notices? naaaahhhh...so i ripped it all back to tier 2.........not like anyone is in a race or anything....she's back up to tier 5. Watch the odd number rows on the lady...don't get lulled by the ease of those little 8 stitch entrelac rectangles....her purl rows...specifically the end triangles will bite your ass if you're not watching. That is NOT ladylike behavior in my book!

Oh man, that is painful. Not childbirth painful, but still painful. Good luck unwonking!

i made this pattern in Kureyon scarf width last February, and when ever I put it down I was totally totally lost. I'd like to do it again but lack of $$ prevent me from finding the right yarn. Maybe SWS will go on sale at Michaels! ANd Elann credits don't work at WEBS or Littleknits, its not like I don't have other things to knit!!! Have a great weekend

It will be so worth it - just glance down at the photo in your last post - the SWS (in my favourite colourway) is stunning! I am so tempted to scoot over to Michael's right now - but did a quick sock tally, 7 1/2 pairs in various states and 2 1/2 sweaters. Lady E has been on my list for over a year now... hm-mm-m, there is always room for one more, isn't there?
