What day is it
Friday, August 24th, 2007I mentioned that I didn’t want to say anything about the pink blob out of knitting fairy fear. What I would have said was “This thing is going fast, I could be done in a couple of days. Then I can stalk the stash and start something else, yay.” It seems like it was a lot longer than a week ago that I started the edge but thanks to my superb blogging skills, I see it was just 7 days ago. The knitting on the KKS is done and has been for 2 days. Twice I had to fix a kitty on the border due to popping stitches off the needle as I pushed them forward, and those stitches always included a yarnover and a corresponding decrease. Now you all know that if I had said before what I wanted to say, I would have to do a lot more fixin’ than that and it would have taken me longer than 5 days to finish the border. There towards the end, after the kitties were all formed, I was sorely tempted to do a couple of rows of garter stitch and call it complete. I was really tired of knitting it, and wanted to move on. I didn’t. I was determined I was going to see this pattern all the way through to the end, as written. Right now, I’m wishing I’d done the garter stitch border. Right now I’m dealing with whip stitching the folded edge. Sewing live stitches to (dead?)stitches a few rows down. I started out good, but now I’m to the second corner and things are off by what looks like 2 stitches. It is driving me BONKERS! It’s killing my back. Whine whine wine. Which I’m considering drinking. My back won’t hurt and I won’t give two shakes about being a few stitches off. So what if the border is wonky.
Oh hey, for all you going to SAFF, what day are you planning on getting there? For those that have gone before, do things sell out on the first day?
