Nah I dont Want to!!! I want to do this instead.

I have been working on the Ruby red work cardigan for me for the last couple of weeks.  For once in my life I have been pretty monogamous project wise in an effort to try and get another cardigan done for me.  I just hate how the best laid plans go pear shaped.

So on Saturday night I was working on my cardigan and was thinking that there is something wrong here.  I thought it was the time of night and tiredness.  So I reassessed it on Sunday morning.  Ok lets wet block to see what is going on.

OMG god it would not even fit Hagar the Horrible.  He would label it has weirdly misshaped. Snert would have done a doggie action comment on it.

Dik Browne Comics.

So it is time to potter in the stash box and walk away from the cardigan before I do something completely insane like put it through the shredder so I can compost the yarn. Remember that comment about jinxing myself I think this qualifies as a certified jinxed moment where karma is slapping me round the chops. Yeap it is that good I am not even going to show a picture of this gnarled distortion of a cardigan that even the Hunchback of Notre Dame would struggle to wear comfortably.

So just ignore the bush turkey impersonation that is going on as I go stash driving as I think I have a dose of startisis.  I can see lots of things getting cast on this evening.

Remind me why I dont like acrylic

I could not remember why I do not like acrylic. I honestly could not remember why so today while intoxicated in my local real world LYS I brought a small ball of apparently top quality baby acrylic. I have just knitted the most mis-shappen BSJ out of it. It was horrible. I think that BSJ will quietly go into the nearest rubbish bin I can find since it can never be recycled.

J came with me as he was selecting his yarn for his vest we are talking over 13oo metres on a 5mm needle here. What does he fall in love with but Mirasol Hacho in Verde Ripple? He springs the bill and I managed to add a couple of other items to his shopping list.

Rip Rip Wood Chip

The weekend lace wrap is a good simple pattern you would think that I would have mastered it by now but OH NO my brain has gone to complete fudge. I have had to rip this project back to the cast on at least 10 times so far. OMG when am I going to get this pattern right. I can do algebra and calculus but Lace it appears not.

The only good thing at the moment is the Bag Ladies Pattern for felted bags arrived today from Canada - Hurrah !!!!
