I know, GASP.
Yesterday was Knit Night, where I worked on the second braided I-cord strap to the tank top. I worked on it more tonight, but as I've braided them I realized, eek, it comes out shorter than the other finished strap! crap! I left fairly long tails on the I-cords but I'm still going to have to work some sort of mojo, probably with the dreaded and never-attempted kitchener stitch to get these things finished. SIGH.
