Lelah ended up in the languishing wip pile because the last time I was knitting it, the bust came out too big and I knew I’d have to frog that portion and re-knit. Frogging makes me so depressed. So when I first knew that it wasn’t going to work out, I couldn’t bring myself to frog just yet. So I gave myself a breather. A nice, long, year-and-then-some breather.

But then I needed my 3 mm circulars, to which Lelah was still attached. And that’s when I saw her again, still gorgeous even after all the time apart. I frogged the bust, and just like that pesky ex you can’t quite let go of, I suddenly had forgotten why we broke up in the first place, Lelah and I. I invited her out to be my TTC Knitalong knitting, and we such a great time together. It was like we had never been apart.

And now- well, I’m head over heels for her all over again: (a blocking photo- Lelah in Repose)

I just need to sew in the elastic and add the ribbon. I’m not someone who puts off the finishing of a knit, so expect some FO shots very soon!!
