Notes

So, my first swap in a while, and my first attempt at nupps.

The Process is ever with me; I have had to cast on three times, now. I do not know why this happens. It’s so stupid. I’m now most of the way through the bottom border, so that’s good. Lifelines in place, excelsior, and all that. Have not yet hit nupps. Looking forward to it.

Nupps: very irritating. I’m getting the knack of them, but have had to repair rather more than I would prefer. The repaired ones don’t look as good as the ones done correctly first try. We have entered the “this is all stuff I’ve done before, starting to get boring” portion of the program. After that usually comes, “this is all as expected and very soothing”, and then “so bored, can I be finished now?” Kind of like the stages of grief, really.
