Designing is HARD
I'm sick of being too busy and having to sit out knitting challenges I'm DETERMINED to enter this one. So determined that I've spend a good portion of today charting. CHARTING CHARTING CHARTING SWATCHING CHARTING. My biggest problem is I don't have enough colors of yarn in the weight I'm using to be guaranteed a good result. I'm just going to have to deal with what I have because I'm too broke to buy new stuff, and too stubborn to start using yarn with a different gauge and having to reswatch and rechart.
I'm being crazy with my plans, as usual. Want to know what I'm doing?
Imagine a hat, inspired by this:
Not easy. I know after I do this one, I'll want to do another one with finer yarn and infinitely more detail. As it is right now, the chart looks like a peacock feather instead of a chakra petal with an eye in it.
I think I have my charts decent enough to start working on A HAT!!!!! so I'm going to dive in now. Maybe I'll finish it today if I don't explode and die. Have I mentioned I've never done fair isle before?
ETA: bought new yarn anyway
