I was flirting with Disaster and got rejected
I ripped out the ribbing and picked up twice the number of stitches in the curve.
Do I like how it looks where I picked up stitches? Not really, but it’s laying flat so I thought I could live with it. But do you see what I see? Do you see where the dye lot is different in the ribbing? Be thankful you aren’t at my house, there are so many bad words flying around it would make your ears bleed. Why the hell didn’t I see this before? I used the same damn yarn that I used the first attempt. WHY WHY WHY!
Bella is getting better. She went back into the ivy part of the yard by herself last night, with no toys or treats to coax her. This morning she went to the fence to talk to the neighbor, another step in the right direction. I think she’ll be back to her old self by the time another week has gone by.

Jeezopete. Where’d that come from?? The ribbing looks good aside from the dye lot thing.
BTW, I googled BurnLounge last night. We were right — it’s a pyramid scheme. Everybody currently making money is making it from signing up new people to BurnLounge.

Oh no. What are you going to do? Do you have more of the original dye lot or can you get some? It’s good that it’s flatter now, but I’d be really upset, too.
That’s great news about Bella returning to her good old self!

Glad Bella is getting braver. The ribbing looks good.

Good news about Bella! Maybe you can overdye the whole thing. Except for the different colors, it looks great.
