Did I say quiet? Thoughtful? Meditative? Right.
That quiet, meditative state is REALLY hard to find with this camisole project. In fact, it involved a lot of swearing. I started the damn thing about a dozen times, trying to get the stitch count right all the way across the 157 stitch cast on. No. I know that’s not so very many. it is, however, enough to drive me batty! I guess I should just be glad it’s not something huge, like a shawl.

Also, I seem to be following the directions a little too well. Does this:

To you? Doesn’t to me. I don’t mind, really. Looks just fine for the purpose it’s intended, I’m just kinda confused by it. There’s not really any way that I can see to make it NOT line up this way and still be following the pattern. Ah well. I’ve even figured out how to solve the button-lining-up glitch that arises for the not-lining-upness - you see, the buttons should be able to button through that first line of lace holes. Instead, I’m going to fold over the edge that the buttonholes should be on, and put a thin piece of boning or something to give that edge a bit of help with not pulling out of shape in little button-based scallops. That’ll take care of the extra fabric between the first row of lace holes and the scallop thing that drives me crazy. I win!
