Ribbed for her annoyance

Pimlico is still on the needles.  I've been putting in some solid time with it but it's taking forever.  The big rectangle is complete and I'm working on the collar.  348 sts in 2X2 rib for 2.5 inches then 3 inches with 504 inches sts in 3X3 rib.  Not for her pleasure.

I know it will look great when it's done (hopefully on me) however I haven't been this annoyed/bored to tears with a knit for quite awhile.  Here's the photo for inspiration:

Yum.

Happy knitting,

I sure hope "504 inches" is a typo...

[Karen B.]

I'm sure that's a typo, although whether stitches or inches that's a heckuva lot of ribbing. Beautiful colour though and it looks like you're half-way there!

Very Yum! Sexy yet cozy.

[Norma]

Oh, your title is sooo funny.

[Chris]

Ha! Excellent title.

[M-H]

I know I shouldn't, but I can't resist: and the shrug's not bad either. Sorry, but she is very cute...

[Romi]

I *love* the colorway you're using. Yummmmmmm. It will look gorgeous on you! Remind me where the pattern comes from? I must do one. :)

504 stitches. That reminds me of a skirt I started (and still need to add elastic to) which started with cast on 666 stitches and join in the round being careful...

Umm, yeah. So, when I started it the second time, I decided to knit straight for a bit and have a 2 inch seam rather than that mess again.

Looks great!

Gorgeous pattern!
You'll love her when she's done, especially in that yarn! oooooh.
Just do a row or two a day. Watch BadTV and eat bon bons...
It will be over soon, and you can gloat at the rest of us whom you've inspired to start the insanity...

Just keep your eye on the prize.... It's going to be gorgeous!

You are so close, yet so bored. I sympathize. It was about where you are that I started wondering if I should put it aside for awhile and maybe knit a sock or two in order to relieve the boredom. Or maybe bring a mallet to my head. K3P3K3P3K3P3......ad nauseum.

On the plus side, it looks so fantastic in that color!!! And you are almost done! It will look fabulous on you and you will love wearing it! Just in time for summer! LOL! I will now stop with the overuse of the exlamation point!

Only a few more inches to go. Don't give up the good fight.

Cheers!

That pattern is made of awesome. I'd love to make one to keep at the office for those days that the air con is on too high.

During the ribbing, I kept looking at that woman thinking, "I'd better look that good."

Good luck the bind off is tons of fun!

[nicole]

Hang in there. I've been having some ribbing issues myself lately. That yarn is so beautiful, it must just be a pleasure to work with.

[Leslie]

It may be annoying on the needles, but it surely won't be once you're wearing it. I love it!

[Beverly]

Awww, but it is gorgeous, the yarn and the pattern...love that huge collar! And it sounds like the perfect pattern for a "tv" knitter like me.

[frecklegirl jess]

Almost there!! Loving the title too. haha

[Lucia]

504??? Yikes.

[Grace]

Hi! Gorgeous color...I love that book! But what is it about the seeming endlessness of the patterns! I just made the Daphne Cape and it seemed like it took FOREVER to finish. It was great at the end and looked fantastic, but ENDLESS knitting (garter, nuff said). But I guess the end justifies the means!

[Shannara]

I know exactly what you mean ... I have started it about a week ago and now I have to take a break and knit something else to recover from the effort! This is WORK, really!

haha... the pic... u know what I saw? one second... I thought is Sharon Stone.
