well, yes, i'm now 13 days behind on the advent calendar KAL, but day 3 was so easy (especially compared to the nupps!) that i was able to complete the pattern portion in one day (yesterday). i had a bit of sitting and waiting to do yesterday, so there you go.
i celebrated by having an old-fashioned and sitting down after dinner to finish the beads in the spacer section. i cranked 'em out! knit the remaining rows lickety-split, and started day 4. started, counted the chart, tinked, counted the chart again, counted my beads -- i had about 40% fewer stitches than i was supposed to have. what? i did not perform any unnecessary decreases -- i know!
i realized i forgot the yarn-overs before and after the beads. so i get to tink all the way back to the beads and see whether i can stretch the yarn to add those yo's, or will have to redo the beads (BOOOO!).
i took much better pictures this time -- the last one was one of the worst pictures i've ever published.
this picture is more clear, i believe, because i used a flash, but the color is not as true. if you click on the picture you can zoom in and see the top row has beads but no yo's.
the hurrieder i go, the behinder i get.ツ
