Hello, friends! I'm joining with Kat today to talk about my knitting and reading. My…
Oh Canada Progress
The other day Nora asked. And then yesterday Margene asked. It’s a simple enough question – what are you knitting? My answer:
Oh Canada. I love it. I hate it. I love the yarn – Kim’s Opulence – and I love the simplicity of the design Anne’s brainchild. I hate how long I’ve been working on it – since October 21st – and I hate how bored I am at this point.
I’ve got 15 repeats done. I’m not sure I can survive the last 3.
Wish me luck.

That’s 83.3% finished! You can do it!
Remember: 3 things! Of course, I don’t think these 3 repeats should be your sum-total of good-for-you today… It’s lovely!
Carole, that’s so beautiful. Like Mel said, you’re almost done. Heck, if you’re that close, can’t you just bind it off and call it done and give it to a little one?
Good Luck – and please do persevere. It’s lovely.
Hang in there- it’s looking SO good.
Ha! I so know that feeling. Keep plugging. You are almost there!
What!? October 21st isn’t that long ago. Kim’s yarn will be worth every stitch and the color is fabulous! You can complain when you’ve been knitting on it for 3 months, but not until. 😉
It certainly is pretty enough to hang in there for three more repeats. You can do it!
Its beautiful! Hang in there, its going to be so worth it when its done!
I’m working on the same thing, I think the same yarn color – since June. And I’m about 2 inches in. Its on the UFO list at this point…
You can do it! It’s really beautiful and deserves to be finished. Just keep knitting…
I think that means you need to cast on another project. Or two. Then when you work on it, you won’t be so bored. 🙂
Give up. Move on to something else. (Never one to just go along with the gang!)
Ooooo – you are SO close and it is SO pretty! Forge on – you’ll get it done!
Oh, but it’s so beautiful, you have to finish! Beautiful colorway.
I feel your pain. I get there with every stole or scarf I knit but I just keep telling myself that the end is in sight and it’s totally worth it. And make sure that something juicy, like Project Runway, is on TV!
It’s beautiful and the yarn looke lovely in it. It will be so worth it in the end.
You can do it!!! Love the navy!
SO pretty! You can do it, you can do it!
Color & pattern are both really gorgeous – hang in there! Been there more than once, but it’s worth it in the end.
Go go go go go! Look at how pretty it is.
side one or side two?
You can do it you can do it you can do it!!
I hate when projects get pro-longed. Think of how great it will feel when you are all done.
The scarf is absolutely beautiful!! The yarn looks yummy and
I love the pattern and was all set to purchase it (not good at
self control over compulsive purchases in the knitting department)
until I read that you are so bored with it…….now I don’t know
what to do. Lovely, lovely, you are almost there. 🙂

It’s very pretty. Perhaps you can reward yourself to finish those last 3 repeats? 🙂
Oh, quit whining :). You are almost done and you haven’t even been working on it for a month.
You can do it!!!
Absolutely beautiful, Carol!
Good luck! I’m in a similar place with Meander (for which, of course, I have no one but myself to blame). If I can do it, you can do it, and vice versa.
You can do it. You are almost there. It looks gorgeous!!
The reward will be in wearing it :). Oh Canada is still my most favorite knitted item to wear. You are sooooooooo close 🙂
You’re killing me! October 21 is a long time to be working on something?!?! I just finished Lady E last night and it was originally cast on in APRIL! :o)
It’s gorgeous – keep going~
It only feels like forever. The scarf looks great though and I’m sure that you’ll finish it off quickly.
I really like it — keep chugging away!
So close. Keep it up.
You’re so close! You can do it!
Just remember that great feeling you’ll get when you’re done!
It’s so pretty….what’s a measly 3 repeats? (ok, I know, it’s agony when you’re not enjoying it…)
(((((hugs)))))
And best wishes sent out 1) for a quick finish, and 2) for a sale on that mobile home. Sorry I’m late to the game…
😉
Hullo! I’m a fairly new reader to your blog. I just want to say that the scarf is lovely and don’t let it get you down. And from my perspective, you’ve been working on it for less than a month, there’s no reason to feel rushed to finish — but my perspective is that of a mom with 2 little kids and hardly any free time, so you can take it for what its worth.
Oh, sister, I feel ya. There’s nothing like the unending lace project to make you question why you’re spending your time knitting.
It will totally be worth it. However, there is no shame in cheating with a sock. ;^)
Whooo, its really pretty! Can you put it away for a while and come back to it?
it’s glorious – but yeah, those never ending repeats of a pattern can be killer.
hang in there – it will be stunning when you’re finished.
Nice colorway! I love it! You’re almost there.
Hang in there baby! It’s to pretty to quit. The color is lovely!
Yes you can!
(Unless, you know, you don’t want to. Whatever you think.)
Absolutely love the yarn and the pattern is beautiful. I’ve some yarn that would work nicely with it so I’ll have to see if I have enough or if it’s suitable. Although as a Canadian I’m not sure that lacey pattern has what it takes to keep the cold out in the winter. I just about froze to death on my way out of the arena last night after the local junior hockey game! Still love the pattern though!!
You can do it…I know you can! That is a lovely shade of blue!
It’s beautiful. Keep going, 3 repeats will be done in no time.
Good LORD, that is beautiful. The color is wonderful. I think I’m on a bit of a blue kick. You can do it!
wow, i LOVE it in that blue . . . this is the first time i’ve seen it and it is SO not boring!
You’re so close, Carole! You can do it. Do it for all of the unfinished lace everywhere!
’tis gorgeous – hang in there!
