So I Changed My Project and Mind
No shame. Ripped out the shawl last night.
See all those awful short row holes? Bad enough they show but they also show the path of my mistakes in the pattern.
Here's the thing. Love the yarn.
Cast on for The hat instead.
I hate to count and keep track etc.
I'm a lazy knitter.
I'm happiest this way.
Here's last night's chicken salad: from McCormick
I used the dressing and made up my own others. They were: chicken, celery because Fireman just loves celery, (isnt that odd)
carrots and apples, a Granny smith.
Next time I'd use Rice vinegar and add water chestnuts and ramen noodles.
This was a bit bland, but a lovely light dinner none the less.

Your salad looks/sounds great. I love celery...and cumin.

The salad sounds delicious - Granny Smith apples, chicken and celery - a yummy combo.

Sometimes it IS the meal.
I cannot tell you how many times I have either ripped something out and started again, or just decided that it's all not working and ripped and abandoned. I used to feel slightly ashamed, and then realized it's MY knitting!!
Thanks for the comment on the contests. In perfect honesty, I'm surprised Prince Harry "lost" when he did. He's SUCH a cutie. But then, Viggo has been in the contest every year; he obviously has his fans.
No judgments on your frogging. Sometimes, it just doesn't work out. I long ago decided that yarns will tell us what they want, and don't want, to be. It takes a while for us to hear, though!
