A few months ago, The Princess and I sat down and brainstormed her next sweater. She wanted rainbow dinosaurs all over it. So I made up a chart and we picked out some yarn and I cast on.
Alas, my chart was too complicated and the black background too hard to see at night and the knitting was NO FUN. After all this time, I only had a few inches knit and zero desire to continue.
So, The Princess and I sat down again and brainstormed again and came up with a new plan. This new plan is coming along much better.
