The progress of my knitting is getting slower and slower, seem like I lose interest in it or may be is because of my greediness. I cast on so many that I could handle, now I have to finish at least two of it before I can cast on any new project.
I cast on Ash from Rowan 36 few week ago, actually I don’t have the pattern I just draft it out and making it my way but the whole top is based on the Ash. I cast on with the Japanese yarn called Novia I brought long ago, and I think it will be superb for this top instead of using mohair yarn plus I really need to use up my stash, is getting out of hand now. At the moment this top is at the back panel and is super slow and bored.

Another project I cast on is the Gathered Cardi from Knit.1 mag, I love this top since I saw the F.O. from Jenna. I went ahead brought 6 balls of Lion Brand Cotton Ease and the same color as Jenna’s( hopes she don’t mind) from Ebay even though the shipping cost is a bit expensive compare to the cost of yarn. I received the yarn a week ago in a small parcel tightly seal, when I open it only contain 5 balls. I email the seller G instantly, thought maybe she made a mistake on the quantity..but after two day waiting the seller didn’t bother to reply my email. I file a dispute report to Paypal and leave a comment on the feedback page. On the next day, the seller send a message to the Paypal said that I try to cheat her, I was shock and angry…I mean for ONE ball of yarn??? I just don’t get it, why would I want to cheat her for one ball of yarn which only cost USD4. I never encounter such a problem until now and is really frustrated, next time I really have to be more careful and check through the comment on others buyer before I purchase, such a dishonest seller!!

I am sure your progress will pick up soon! All it takes is stitch by stitch!
Do you not have a Michael’s or AC Moore near you?? Probably would have been so much easier to just pick it up at a box store! That IS frustrating SHE is the cheat! Ugh!

Oh no! That is terrible! I’ve never had a bad experience on ebay, but I’ve heard tales.
( I hope you find more of the yarn…the colors of both your projects are beautiful!

How horrid that experience of ebay. Ash will be so nice in that yarn you are using, its a pretty colour.

Boo!
Sorry you encountered such a vengeful grouch on eBay! I do hope you get that 6th ball of Cotton Ease. Actually, I used two different dye lots on my cardigan and you can’t even tell. So maybe you can order one from a different seller?
Of course I don’t mind that you’re knitting the same color as I did! Since we live on opposite sides of the world, there’s probably very little chance that we’ll both wear them to the same place on the same day.
