I still can’t figure out why, but it has been an absolutely
crazy week. I have gotten some knitting
done but with various errands and things that had to be accomplished, I feel
like I’ve been running since early Monday morning. I still have some things to get done this
morning, but later this afternoon, I shall begin a 36 hour knitting marathon. I am so
close to being done with my daughter’s gift and also with the Malabrigo
sweater. The Christmas blanket is still
languishing. I think I’ve done only a
dozen rows on it all week. Meh…
The Malabrigo sweater is going to look fabulous. I did hit a small bump on Tuesday morning,
although at the time it did not seem so small.
When I looked at the nearly-done sleeve I’d been working on, I saw a
wretched anomaly in what was otherwise beautiful (if I do say so myself) knitting:
A hole. O_o
There, you see? It’s
not a big hole, but any hole is not a good thing when the pattern doesn’t call
for a hole in that particular spot.
Scariest thing is, I have absolutely no idea how it got there. Everyone has made a mistake in knitting where
they knew something wasn’t right. Or if
they didn’t realize their mistake, it became apparent rather quickly. I did not see this hole until I was at least
20 rows past it. I briefly considered committing
hary-kari with one of my knitting needles…
Thankfully, I managed to restrain myself from
self-destruction and mutilation until I could get over to the yarn shop and
seek the advice of Lady L., who assured me that since it was so small I could
easily just close it up with some extra yarn.
As Madea would say, “Halleluyer!”
And, I’m off…
I hate when this happens. It's an easy fix, but it makes me feel like I'm losing it because I can never remember how it got there!
ReplyDeleteRight?? Is there such a thing as "knitter's blackouts" ya think?
