Thirty Something Hobbies

I got very excited when the new Rowan yarn Damask arrived for my new project, however I have now restarted it 3 times! and am hesitating to continue expecting to 'knob it up again'! it's a lovely pattern but involves variations of knitting 2 together, slip 1, pass stitch over and yarn forward in various combinations each row. The first time I had messed up about the 4th row in so thought It'd be quicker to restart, then I made another mess up on the first repeat so thought I'd un-knit which took ages, thought I'd sorted it out but several rows on realised I'd lost a stitch somewhere and the pattern wasn't so much a pattern as a mess! So I have cast on again and done 2 rows, I'm sure it'll be lovely if I ever get there and it is more of a summer top than winter!
