So after checking the size and # of sts (geez, there are only 2 sizes but I'm a measure once cut twice measure twice cut once kinda gal) yesterday I was off to the races on the rev st border.
Until I started on the intarsia chart - why were there leftover sts on the body portion??? Because I cast on for the large size instead of the small. Really good thing there wasn't actual cutting involved!! Rip it out,
re-knit it and tink back a several times because I knit instead of purled or forgot the decreases. At the end of the day the border is done but it took a whole day instead of half that time. Sigh. Shake it off ... going to knit on some nice, easy socks before bed.BTW - how do you eat your Smarties?
Chemo does muddle the thought processes. It's a well-established fact. So you can make all the mistakes in the world and blame them all on the chemo, rather than own up to casual inattention or chronic distractability. I have a friend who has always been a drifty flake, but now she has an excuse. And you've NEVER been a drifty flake, so you'll get all that focus back with your return to health. Doesn't happen overnight, though.
ReplyDeleteI sorganize my smarties into colours - then eat the smallest group first - up to the largest group -- like on your last photo I'd eat tghe brown pink and orange first, then the red and blue, and save the 3 green for the last mouthful - I know, too much effort into eating smarties, but somehow it works for me LOL!!!
ReplyDeletesorganize - a total typo but it sort of makes sense - smarties organize = sorganize !!!
ReplyDeleteOoooh, how frustrating that knitting would be! Glad you taught it who's boss. As for smarties, I eat whatever comes out of the box first. LOL
ReplyDeleteSorry about the rip out, but been there, done that, wrote the book.
ReplyDeleteI like to pop several smarties in mouth and let them melt about half way then crunch and munch.
