How to Fix a Huge Lace Hole
Step 1: Find the hole. Two dropped stitches and a nupp of questionable constitution. The nupp stitch totally didn’t go through the nupp, and it was falling apart. Not good!
Step 2: Curse the hole. Bah! Admire your fudging of the lace pattern to make up for the dropped stitches. Marvel at the fact that you didn’t catch this sooner.
Step 3: Open a beer. This can really occur at any point in this process.
Step 4: Conceal the hole. Ladder up those puppies and decrease them toward the top. Not bad. Take some leftover yarn, thread it through the hole, and weave in the ends so that they totally show.
Step 5: Finish beer and take a crappy bathroom mirror photo. Classy!

FAT TIRE. My favorite beer in the whole world. Fat Tire and my kntting have become very fast friends.

Are you going to Austin for the Yarn Harlot in July? I’m working on putting together a dinner afterparty and would love to have you there!

[…] Yay, Socktoberfest! I don’t (yet) have any size 0 needles for my Yarn Pirate yarn, so I’ve started knitting the hand-dyed Punched in the Eye yarn. It looks much less bruise-like once knitted up - my camera really wants to accentuate the crazy reds and blues in the skein, but it looks much more monochromatic in real life. And as always, yarn enjoys a tasty Flat Tire. […]
