I now officially am ready to cry over the shawl...and I'm only on row 3 of the pattern row.
I messed up...I'm missing 2 stitches and I can't find them. Someone hold me, I don't want to cast on 401 stitches again. I know I know, look on the bright side, I got through 1 pattern row unscathed...then came to second. Anyway Grace isn't working again until Wednesday and I'm going to have like 6 rows done by Saturday...WHY DID I DO THIS!!!????!!!!????

 You're the life of the party, and you love making people crack up. If only your routine didn't always bomb! You may find more groans than laughs, but always keep the jokes coming. |
Quote to describe a typical afternoon napping with dogs...
"If you were to look into our apartment in the late morning, or early afternoon, or toward suppertime, you might find us together sleeping. Of course a good rainy day is preferable, but even on sunny summer days, the dogs and I get into bed. Rosie dives under the quilt on my right, Harry on my left and we jam ourselves together. After a little bit, Harry starts to snore, Rosie rests her chin on my ankle, the blanket rises and falls with our breathing, and I feel only gratitude. We are doing something as necessary to our well being as food or air or water. We are steeping ouselves, reassuring ourselves, renewing ourselves, three creatures of two species, finding comfort in the simple exchange of body warmth."

I feel your pain...both about the lace screw up and photos on Blogger. First, let me fulminate about how many times I've tried to post pics, esp. since pics are the main thing on my blog, and I sit there and sit there and sit there, watching the spinning wheel, waiting for the upload. Then, nada. Blogger is ailing and needs a fix. Second, I was on the 3rd pattern row of Kimono and uh-oh, 3 sts missing. BUT I CORRECTED IT MYSLEF!!!! An absolute first. You can do it too, baby. Just heard the Mr. Softee truck jingle---spring is truly here!
