Rebound Knit

I was knitting something beautiful beautifully. Then I ruined it. I'm a bit crushed to be honest, it was oh so pretty, a fantastic colour and then - poof. I ruined it. I'm not ready to say how but it was my own fault and until I've figured out how to fix it I'm not going to own up to what I did and to, um, whom (can a knit be a whom?).

As is often the way when something good comes screeching to an abrupt halt, I rebounded. Hard. I basically knit a sweater vest out of twine in two days. Rebounds aren't supposed to be meaningful, there is no emotional investment. Just like with this knit.

The yarn is some Ballybrae that I picked up in a thrift store a few weeks ago. It's as rough as a bear's arse and horrible to knit with. But it's a pretty colour and like I said, rebound. This should be finished by the end of the night and hopefully blocking will take it from brillo pad to something less wire-wool like. Or not. Who cares?
