In a land pretty near here, a friend of mine was trying to knit some socks.
\nThe yarn is Ella Rae Lace and the pattern was Gratitude. Evidently, you can’t use magic loop for that pattern or they turn out sized for elves, so she frogged several repeasts and decided to try something else.
\n
Enter Gush. This pattern didn’t appeal to her in 3D as much as it had in 2D. And so, she decided that she didn’t really like Gush and started to look for another pattern.

Then, she ran across Inlay by the one and only Hunter Hammersen. This is the project that inspired her.<\/a>
\n
As you expect, I had to wonder why she didn’t just start with a Hunter pattern, but I just quietly grinned to myself and decided that with two babies at home, she wasn’t going to have time to rip Gush and get the yarn back in order. And since, I, as you may have noticed, have not had much to blog about, I offered to rip and wind for her if I could blog about her knitting journey. She agreed and so I give you:
\nElla Rae Lace Merino (before and after).
\n\"Ella\"Ella
\nIn the end, it turned out that she wasn’t happy with Inlay either and I’ve decided that the yarn is cursed. I’ve heard that if you stick cursed yarn in the freezer for a bit, sometimes that helps.
\nPs. And if you don’t believe in cursed yarn, here’s proof that she’s a badass knitter, so it must be the yarn.
