OK... apparently, I lied

OK...remember the last post.. when I said.. I'm done!... yeah well. NOPE.. I'm not.. I took the sweater with me to LYS... why? b/c I hated it on me.. I knew it needed blocking and was going to have THEM do it for me.. So I got there put it on and looked at the LYS lady.. and said.. "well?".. and you know you're screwed when you get a reply.." Can I be totally honest and not hurt your feelings?".. which in my mind = '$#!&!!!' .. of course I say "ABSOLUTELY!".. anyhow... bottom line.. I ripped out both button bands and re-did one much WIDER.. in the middle of the other now.. and then going to modify the neck line.... so.. I"m not done.. I don't think I ever will be. and further.. once I finished I think I'll just mail it to Rachel, so it can join her 'where knitting goes to die' bin.. OR I guess I can start one of my own.. :(...

F&F completed

OK.. so I finished this last Friday.. and still have NO pics.. WHY? b/c my hubby won't let me use the camera! :(... WHY? b/c the iMAC (the bearings on the hard drive) was acting up last week and when I brought it to get it repaired, the so-very-smart techies NOT!!! - didn't move the data including (ALL MY GD PHOTOS!!!!) over to the new drive... so hubby is trying to look into getting what WAS on the memory card, somehow restored... So.. bottom-line.. no photos as of yet...So, in the interim, I'm knitting up a quick pair of fingerless mitts for my nephew B.. who requested they be done in ORANGE...which I can take a documented pic w/my cell phone...

I can't take pics of the sweater.. as my camera phone isn't THAT good!

Almost there......

I'm on the buttonband!. WOOHOO.. almost there... I've been knitting SOO much. .that I actually have carved a little piece of me out of right index finger.. from the needles.. there's a first! a true knitting injury.. oh well...I'll get there... I should have pics of completed F&F cardigan in couple of days...

Wednesday woes..... Why when you open a yogurt top (ANY/ALL brands), they pop and spit a blop at you, no matter what direction you open the dang thing... Even if you open it pointing away from you, it backflips onto your shirt/blouse AND always in an awkward area? Thus, creating a visual beacon to stare at my goods.!..

Have a great 4th everybody!
