Commitment Issues
The green sweater. I frogged. I wasn't feelin' the love for it, you know. Made me look like a long-armed fuzzy bear. I'm a bit on the skinny side, so if a sweater can make me look like a long-armed fuzzy bear, it must be bad. It was. Bye-bye, green sweater. Hello, cute little fuzzy green yarn cakes. I'm on a pattern search now.
The lace stole. I frogged. I have to thank Lyn, who frogged her pink Criss Cross (I think it's from Vogue Knitting). These two projects have been gathering dust in the closet and everytime I opened it to take out needles, or yarn, or my knitting bag, I got a twinge of pain. Agh, the pain. So, I frogged. Also, do you know that frogging mohair sucks? It wasn't enough that I frogged the fluffy green sweater (mohair and wool), I had to frog the lace stole (mohair and silk) right after. I never got a good rhythm with the pattern, which was turning out to be incredibly boring. It was all good, though, the Argentinian wine helped.
I joined the Summer of Lace knitalong. I gotta do this KSH shawl for my grammy (I'm thinking the good old standby Feather and Fan) and I gotta do Kiri as well. We shall see...
A Post-it mosaic of Elvis. He he. Nothing to get the creative juices flowing! (Also good for team bonding, etc. etc.)
This reminds me of the time we did a treasure hunt at work. One of the IT guys had a pair of magnets that made a clicking sound when he tossed them in the air (something about the poles attracting and repelling each other). He did it far too often and incurred the wrath of one of the designers. The IT guy made the mistake of leaving the magnets one day so we "kidnapped" one of them, made a ransom note (photo of blindfolded magnet included), and left it on the foosball table demanding cold hard cash for its safe return. When he didn't pay up, he was sent on a treasure hunt that took him to the very bottom of the parking structure to the CEO's conference room to the outdoor landscaping. It took the better part of an hour and 15 clues, and it was sooo much fun to watch the entire IT department running around! I wish we could come up with something like that again.
