Knitting Finish and WIP

My knitting has picked up a lot. Still having trouble making myself sit and blog about it. Lately I've just been sharing on IG. A few quick pics not as many words. Easy-peasy. 

Anyway since I finally made it here. 

I'm currently working on Nefertiti Wrap by Miriam Felton. I'm using Hobby Lobby's Glint of Glam in Teal. Knitting with Knitter's Pride Karbonz #3. I started this in January with 2 friends. I'm using this to learn knitting from charts and trying out all the features of KnitCompanion. This baby has a total of 19 charts! I've made it to chart #9. I will be sitting taking some time today to figure out why I'm having issues with the last potion of row #3. Fingers crossed. 

The designer has provided both written instructions and charts. This is my first attempt at knitting a project strictly from charts. So far with the help of KnitCompanion, I've been doing very well. My biggest regret is the yarn I choose. This yarn while very nice, with the incorporated luxe, is very loosely twisted which makes it all to easy to split the yarn. With any number of yarn overs (yo), knit togethers (tog), and slip,slip, knits (ssk) it makes for some slow knitting.

If/when I finish this I would like to made another in a lace weight yarn. Yes, its official I'm off my rocker.
