Birch

I restarted birch this weekend. I mess up my first try, so I decided to cut my losses and start over. I am so glad I did, I finally "get" the pattern. Sure I have a million more rows to go, but it is getting easier, now that I understand it! I like that every row I will have less and less stitches instead of more and more. It was scary to cast on 299 stitches, but now I think I have gotten the hang of it. I have complete 2 pattern repeats, with my guess is 30 more to go.  But because the number of stitches decreasing every row, it will get easier and easier.

It was very  hard to photograph this pale green yarn, but you get the idea. All of a sudden I want to knit lace, first it was socks and now it's all lace all the time. I am such a bore sometimes.

Your Birch looks great! I'm afraid I messed up a bit on mine, but there's no turning back now! Hehe.

I think it's all the stitch markers and the yo's right next to the markers which confuse things.

Oh well.

looks beautiful joelene...and god bless you for restarting birch. don't know if i could have done that myself. i think i made a bunch of little misknits in mine while i was getting used to the pattern...but i kept telling myself they were adding "character." (whatever.) yours will be perfect from start to finish!and that light green yarn looks fabio.
