Anti-Progress - My scanner rocks!
Here is a pic of my Vera progress. This is my second attempt (new needles which I adore - Turbo's from Yarnlady.com for $9 and no shipping!).
I am going to frog it again as you can see that one weird mistake. I was going to let it go then i spotted a small hole (again, thats what I get for knitting past 11pm) but that's okay. I do better when I frog at the beggning and it lowers the chanse of my having to frog farther on down when i mess up again. Practice make perfect and this cotton is kinda sticky.
Also it was my first attempt at changing colors, I just knit it right in, no tying or anything. It was a little wonky and loose but I paid attention and I think it turned out very nice. So I'll frog when I get home and go at it again. It knit up faster then I thought it would so I think i can make some good progress tonight. The pattern confused me some but I'll wait till I get to the first 10th row to ask questions!
Here also is Sophie. Over halfway to the top!
I use the bag as a yarn holder and counter holder heh!

Oh, I think your Vera is going to be lovely! I was wondering when you'd start it... :) Your color change looks fab, sorry you have to rip but c'est la vie - you're right, it's much better now than later!

I dunno the colors really contrast a lot in comparison to yours and the pattern picture. I am a big fan of that two tone look but here I am with a bright contrasting colorway. Ah well, I'll float with the boat or whatever the saying is..
