Latest Loser but I Don't Mind at All

I don't know what I was thinking when I cast on and knit this. I think it was a chapter that I wrote for my next book about knitting shawls from the inside out that made me do it. It was like a bulb went off in my head about shaping circular shawls, or something. I never really thought about it until I was forced to. I realized that if I cast on eight stitches, doubled my stitch count and joined in the round and evenly placed eight markers and worked increases on either side of the markers every other round that I would end up with a star shape.

As I knit it, dancing sugarplums flitted above my head. I kept thinking this would be the "next best" knitting pattern evah!

And then I ran out of yarn and bound off.

Total slump-dum ensued.

Girlfriend, when I handed it to her and asked her to pose said, "this looks just like table topper."

"You mean a doily?" I asked.

"No, just something that you'd put on top of the table and then stick a lamp on top of it."

Loser pile, here we come.

Glad to be back to blogging. Finished the shoot for the third book--it was the best shoot experience I ever had. I am so in love with all the pictures and I can't wait to share some with you.
