Yesterday afternoon I had my weekly knitting lesson. It was about increasing and decreasing like last week, but today we started a pattern. I say "we," however, I was the only one there this week! So, I started a new pattern. It's a scarf. The pattern is called Norwegian fir lace. It's pretty and delicate. I supposed I could have chosen a daintier yarn, but I loved the color of this yarn. The biggest downfall is I seem to have picked out a bad skein. It was the last one left in this color, go figure; and I just had to have it.

| Tangled mess! |
I spent most of yesterday afternoon and evening knitting and detangling the skein. Today I was at it again until I couldn't get the knots out anymore. I got some help this afternoon. Teamwork always gets the job done! It was a mess and it turned out it was not even all together! We had to tie the ends together once we got it untangled. The whole skein is full of knots and when the largest tangle was undone, it came apart! Now it is all together and the remaining yarn is in a neat ball. I'm going to need another skein and I don't know if there's another in this color. I want to donate the finished scarf to charity. It's frustrating that the skein was so bad.
All in all, I am optimistic about the progress and I think it's going to be pretty once it's done.
