Wednesday WIPs

 

This was supposed to be my big reveal of an almost finished Bon Amie but once again I made a dumb mistake. 




Um, yeah...I don't even know what to say about this. You would think I would have checked the other sleeve to make sure they matched or even looked at the pattern where I had clearly written where I had ended the first sleeve. Now I've got to do some un-knitting and I HATE un-knitting colorwork.




We're still slogging away in the bathroom with the big bucket of joint compound but I did learn a trick that is making things a bit easier. We've always worked out of the original bucket but if you take some out and whip it up with a splash of water it goes on much easier and much smoother. I knew I was keeping that old hand mixer for something.

    Bon Amie is beautiful even if you now need to un-knit. I use my mixer to make cakes but whipping joint compound is good, too!
