Ever have one of those shitty weeks that just won’t go away? That was my week last week. I almost broke down and cried Thursday because I thought it was Tuesday and ohmyfuckinggodwillthisweekneverend?
I did finally lose it a little yesterday. This didn’t help either:
And a more painful closeup:
This happened after I took it off the needles to let B try it on to see if it fit like he likes, which it does, but my long-tail cast-on is not quite as stretchy as he’s used to, so I’m thinking I need to find a different, nore stretchy cast-on for socks. Any suggestions?
Of course, I couldn’t find the right size needles at Michael’s, but
I did get a yarn cutter since my baby Fiskar scissors went missing. (Our LYS is closed on Sunday.)
Also, I will be getting Clover bamboo dpns from now on in the smaller sizes as I cannot suffer another heartache like this. (Though, if I knew where the 5th MIA needle was, this would not be such a big blow to my knitting.)
This week will be mercifully short and I probably won’t be pulling my hair out until Friday, when I take the day off and go *gulp* Christmas shopping.
Tomorrow I will be bringing you pictures of the tackiest, white trashiest Christmas tree ever. It rocks.
Sorry about your week and your knitting “incident”. Hopefully this week will be better for you!!!
OUCH! Oh, NO!! that SUCKS! If we lived near each other you could come over and borrow stuff when the LYS is closed. ARGH!!!!!! Hope this week goes better!
Twisted german cast on. I have a tutorial on my site, it’s tidy and it’s much stretchier. Or else, do them toe up and do a sewn bind-off instead. Those are my two faves for any edging that needs to have some give.
