Reasons for going topless

[squirrella]

It took me the better part of twenty minutes to get the top up on the Ghia yesterday, which in turn made me miss my bus from the garage to Chestnut Hill, which in turn made me late to my coffee date. Then, I was so flustered (and a little sore--from putting up the freakin' top) that my knitting barfed in my face and I ended up ripping out an entire 3 inches of braided cabled sock leg, only to have acid reflux yarn. So, with my sore arms and smudged knuckles, I pretty much spent the next two hours unraveling and then balling recalcitrant yarn.

On Friday, I watched in horror as a dropped stitch zipped all the way down to the bottom of my cabled tank (the back was 3/4 done) and realized I hadn't the foggiest how to repair it, due to the complexity of the cables. Rippit rippit rippit...

exactly. my knitting comrade voiced some minor disbelief that i was going to frog the entire sock, BUT i just don't have the patience or skill to fix cables!!!!

*nods* Plus I'm using super-slippery bamboo yarn, which is a pain in the butt to futz with and shows every little mistake.. :P

there was no other way to properly describe it.

Terribly sorry to hear about the yarn barfage...Hopefully it was not a projectile vomit, as that could be deadly were the needles still in the work... Nothing more annoying than having to start over.


I'm sure the top on the Ghia will get easier to put up with practice. Either that, or consider making it part of your exercise routine?

Yech! At least you don't have to worry about it smelling up your shoes for a couple years. =)

Did I do something to upset or offend you, honey? If so, I'm really sorry, babes :( I know I haven't been reading these last few weeks but I've had so much going on I've not had time to really read anyone. Please forgive me, love, and I promise I'll be back reading regularly again soon. x

oh no, it was nothing like that. i just did some cutting. i'll re-add you, though. i just didn't know you still read.
