Take that Etcgirl! Only a few hours away from finished now . . . I suppose. Honestly, I'm not sure if I can get it done by the end of the weekend, but I AM sure it will be done for Rhinebeck.

Let me share the journey of the Tangled Yoke. First, it took me just over a week to get from cast on, to the yoke. Then it took me a whole week to get the cabling done!

Rather than like this:

So I had to rip it back. It took me one whole night to rip back, and then one whole night to re-do and correct one row.

And then I went crazy on the cables! I did them in 2 days. In fact, I did 5 straight hours of cables this morning.

This was the view in my lap this morning:


Don't let her fool you -- she's pure evil!
