Oops
Wednesday, June 7th, 2006First of all, I hate bobbles/popcorns/nipples/whatever you want to call them. Hate hate hate them. I also hate seaming. Well, hate is too strong for seaming, I just dislike it. So why did I choose a pattern that involves bobbles AND seaming? I’d like to think it was to expand my horizons, to have a challenge. But no, it’s really because I wasn’t paying enough attention. Poinsettia, she requires attention. Like when you are getting down to the final stretch, and you see all those rows of just plain knitting and you get excited that you are getting a little break before the next slew of bobbles. You can listen to your husband talk or the boob tube and not concentrate for at least a few rows. It’s bliss. Then you do the 2nd square and those purl rows seem unfamiliar. And you realize you didn’t pay enough attention to Poinsettia and she wasn’t very happy about it. She laughs when you realize you have some garter where some stockinette should be. Now you have to do those GD bobbles again.
Waaahh. But dammit, she will not defeat me. Yet.
