SO here we are, the end of the month and an uncompleted challenge. This is the first time that’s happened. Let’s asses why the Tour de France was not successful.
Stage 1: I will knit a French Design (probably finish Lutea-Lace Tank or create a Clapotise)
The Lutea-Lace Tank is all knit, sewn and is waiting to have the ends woven in and blocking to commence. It’s been sitting for two weeks I think. Something about finishing just doesn’t excite me as much as knitting. (Knaked knits put out a challenge to knit preemie hats asking us each to make just two. Well I couldn’t resist and five hats latter I’m convinced I need to just finish up these skeins before calling it quits.)
Stage 2: I will knit with a French Yarn (I think I’ll be ordering some Bergere de France yarn)
I thought a French sock pattern with French yarn was the way to go. Although the sock yarn was ordered on 6/30 it still has not arrived. I was hopeful it would come and did not cast on with an alternate yarn.
Stage 3: I will knit a pattern designed by a French Citizen –for this I will knit a Jacquard pattern as Joseph Marie Charles Jacquard, a French silk weaver designed this type of stitch pattern and fittingly his birthday is July 7th! Sacre bleu! (OMG) the same day as The Boyfriend! It’s fate!
I did complete a Jacquard dishcloth so I did finish this stage of the Tour.
I guess like the real Tour De France, we can not win every stage but are able to take victories in different pieces of it.

If I were a real cynical French person, I would say that you did not win because you did not take drugs... ;-)
What's the August challenge?
