End as you want to begin

I’m not usually one for sentimentality, but I do like to end each year as I want the new one to begin. This year, I decided I’d spend the time working on my stack of WIPs, in the hope that I’ll finish a few in the coming weeks. I worked a few rows of my Charlotte’s Universe blanket, then moved on to the next. I’m headed up to Ohio for my birthday for the Hidden Marietta Paranormal Expo, and like the massive nerd I am, I’m hoping to have my Colette cardigan done in time to bring it with me. It’s been a good few months since I grabbed it from the WIP basket, so it had sunk to the bottom. I’ve finished the back and one of the fronts, so I powered through the other front today. It’s a pretty large gauge so I was feeling pretty optimistic, until I bound off the second front, went to seam the shoulders, and couldn’t get it to match up. Remembered why the cardigan had been in time-out for so long. I forgot to mirror the lace edge. Sighed, frogged, and cast on for the sleeves instead. Keep heading along, and happy new year!
