It'll Take a Miracle

claudia wants pictures.  she wants proof that this thing is the mess that i say it is.   well let's start with what i like about it. 

the first fair-isle section.  i did it once, frogged it in it's entirety then frogged it several times more as i kept messing it up -- not enough stitches, wrong color combo, looked ugly -- you name it.  it took 2 days.  i've made blankets in 2 days, so you can understand my frustration at my lack of progress.  but it is pretty. (the ridge in the middle is a folding line). 

here's what the whole thing looks like so far.

do you honestly think that blocking will help?
