Another Panic Sunday...

So I was meeting a knitting friend for breakfast (we needed to fuel up before the EZ Adult Surprise Jacket), and I couldn't find my card case. Now granted I wasn't that worried, I had used it last on Friday and hadn't gone anywhere on Saturday. I last had it when leaving Food Lion on my way to a friends for Dinner. I distinctly remembered putting it into my dress pocket on the way out to the car... So while at breakfast, I wasn't too concerned. I mean it had to either be in my pocket still or at my friend's... So stopped by the house on my way to SWS and checked the pocket. No luck. Still not too panicked, I sent a message to my friend. I mean I left my watch and 2 rings there, it isn't that big a stretch to think I left the card case... and waited to hear back...

Then the reality hit. I was about to go to my LYS and I didn't have any means to buy any yarn. I knew I would need some... I always do. I did find a 20, so that would cover the necessities, but what about the rest? And Nonna's risotto was calling to me. Oh well... it's going to be fine. My friend will call and my case will be there... right? Hmm, no such luck. Oh, they called... but my case wasn't there. Did I mention that my frequent buyer card was in there as well? :-(

SO time to go home and tear the house apart. Maybe I took it out of my pocket? Now, I am far from the best house keeper... really far from that... But I start searching. I ignore the phone... GiGi needs to go out... and I have to find her ball. Guess what... right next to the ball... was the plastic card case. Now I'm not saying that my wonderful dog hid it on me to send a message, but I am suspicious.

Off to finish the increases on the EZ Surprise and then another repeat of the lace for the Flirty Tank.

A finished object...

Wooo hooo! I bound off the last row of the baby blanket! Weave in some ends and I'm done... I'm counting it even if I traded a string bag for a crocheted edge rather than the applied I-cord... Tonight was lots of fun... A good mix of people and experiences. I do look forward to the Tuesday night knitting. I'll post a pic of the baby blanket before I send it off.

I reached a new plateau in my knitting. I was working on my sock and I noticed that a few rows earlier I had split the yarn so the stitch was wonky. Admittedly, If it hadn't been Monday, I probably would have driven to SWS to get someone to fix it. Instead I knit around to right above that stitch, dropped the stitch and laddered it back up... Okay so I used 3 needles, and it took me longer than it would have taken someone else, but I DID IT!!! Such a small thing, but huge for me... :-)

Long Time no Blog... Too long

So it's been so long, I'm not sure where to start. So rather than trying to figure out where I left off, I'll just start again.

I have discovered that I am very good at starting projects... I like to learn new techniques and work with different yarns, but I'm not so good at finishing what I start. This could of course be part of my fear of commitment. Once I finish, it exists, and can't be changed... let's face it there has to be some reason that I have only to bind off my hemlock ring, and there it sits in my bag taunting me... I like my toe-up socks, they were fun to make, but if I finish... who knows what will happen. I mean I might actually work through my stash. If I finish, then I'll have to find a use, or a place, for all of these things. I've finished the washcloths, but they are small... I bet if I could I would put those off too.

I keep setting goals for myself, but don't really hold myself accountable to those deadlines. My latest is that when I finish the Juliet, I have to finish the Swing Coat that I started last year. We'll have to see if that works.

So off to knit again, and hopefully finish the Log Cabin baby blanket that I started, only 2 more borders and then the I-cord.
