Man, I’m still dreaming about that collar.
Yesterday was pretty productive, until the end. I ran. I read through all of the stories for tonight’s class (still have to read and critique them again – although I’m really hoping class will be snowed out.) I finished the pictures for the job I did the other day – thank god! In the end I was quite pleased with them, camera dying and all. So then I settled in to pick up the collar on Picot-Boo. NO biggy. It’s a mere 60 odd stitches and half of them are on stitch holders anyway – piece of cake!
No. No. No. How is it that the thing looks like crap now? The problem is that on the front you had to bind off the middle 18 stitches and then continue to decrease so that you wind up with two stitches on each side of the bind off. Then you keep them on holders. Well all the decreases got so screwed up when trying to transfer them to the circulars and the whole thing was so awful and ended up ripping out the seaming, then ripping down past the cast-off edge then knitting it back up. It seems to be working now. So frustrating. I don’t have a lot of time! I’m supposed to be leaving for my sister’s some time tomorrow and I have SO MUCH to do before now and then. Including finishing this sweater. I know I don’t have to finish it – but there’s so little left to do – and I wanted Charlotte to wear it to the birthday party on Sunday (Max’s fourth birthday party – bowling with four year olds! Whipee!) Plus I have to get the pictures out in the mail. I have a package I want to send my SP4 for Valentine’s Day. My house is ridiculous. And I have to prepare for class tonight. The sweater was supposed to be EASY! I did a couple rounds before bed last night, but there are gaping holes that need to be seamed again (I’m praying that’s what it is – I KNOW that’s what it is….)
And we went to bed late again last night. It’s like the fifth post 1:30 AM night in a row. I am beat. Poor Georgie is too. He’s been fighting a cold and working so hard. We’re both overwhelmed and don’t know what to do with each other. Tonight will be late again – my class doesn’t end until 10 PM and by the time I get home and eat something it’s after 11.
Okay. Rant over. I need to get going.
But before I go, you MUST check out Ms. Cocoa Pebbles’ styling tee-shirt! AB/CD. I LOVE it!
you are hilarious. everything will work out fine. (i am practicing serenity.) but, really i think it will. rant away, though, i always think it helps. hoping you guys get a little rest and strength and health and lots of good things. and you have to post pics of the bowling party!
I hope you were snowed out/in – things here are cancelled and I’m glad to be inside where it’s warm and dry! (as opposed to outside, where it is currently sleeting/snowing and the roads are a mess!!)
I was working on an infant/toddler sweater and I think the directions were harder for me to understand/complete then any adult sweater I’ve made. I ripped the whole thing and switched patterns before starting again, for fear of messing up ANOTHER neckline.
ah see the sleep deprivation now is to prepare you for the results of the activities that you aren’t talking about pursuing later in the year.
