Knitting
A friend came by on Thursday and I was showing her my WIPs. She hadn't seen the Barbara Walker books, so we were flipping through - saw the Swedish block (or is it check - can't remember) in book 1 and mentioned how elegant it was. Then I was showing her baby blankie and I wasn't pleased with how it was knitting up - the variegation and the pattern were clashing with each other, so I had a little aha moment, ripped it out back to the garter stitch edge and restarted it with the Swedish block pattern. Ahhhh. Easy to stitch and I like how it's coming out.
So even though I worked WAY too many hours yesterday, I am back to where I started when I ripped. Feels good.
Tonight I will do a little on the baby blankie and see if I can get the CotR shawl back to where I goofed up.
Riding
Mel had a good day with Callas - a little bit of breakthrough in getting her to work and concentrate through distractions. Going down tomorrow, so should have some pics.
Haven't ridden all week myself. Between rain and work, ugh! Have a lesson today - am really enjoying the new teach.

I love that "rip 'till you're back where you started" knitting pattern. I do it all the time.
Good luck on the neew one. Maybe your Walker Treasuries could call to mine and have #2 tell me where it is.
