Binding off the lower edge of this fine-gauge shawl would have been downright grueling if not for the company of the Saturday Brunch Knitters. After that, I thought I was home free. When working the edging along the front opening, however, I decided against decreases at the neck edge. I repeated the mistake when working the collar from the provisional cast on.

Result? The unpleasant feeling of being mugged by my shawl. There's only one thing to do: frog the collar, frog the edging, and repeat. While I'm at it, though, I'll change it up. The collar needs to be shorter and better not matched to the opening edge. Now where did I put those purple beads?

AntiToast, damn, you're good! Any idea about my binoculars?

Rebecca, frogging and re-knitting now accomplished. I am so sorry to hear that you mistakenly missed the brunch.

Colleen, we all seem to instinctively steer away from the crumbly stuff.

I am very annoyed at myself for missing that brunch. For some reason I was convinced it was on Sunday. Probably because brunch was featured so strongly.

Neckline does look uncomfortably tight. A good frogging and re-knitting of that part is in order. And beads? I didn't know you were planning on beads!

Brunch and knitting sounds divine. Except, perhaps, for the crumbs.
