So can we talk about that ball of yarn that is the end result of my UFO turned “what in the entire hell?!” Can we? Well if you said no, stop reading now, because I’m rolling up my sleeves and cracking my knuckles.
Now, as I said in the post about the then WIP, I had done this before; therefore, this should have been a breeze right? Honey bunches of NOPE :/ (Awesomely Luvvie) I mean if I think about it, my mistake came in the dropping the last time, but it wasn’t this bad. I have no idea what went wrong.
The knitting is/was pretty straight forward, no issues there. The drama came when it was time to drop the stitches. Should be simple enough, but it just didn’t come out right. I took my time and pulled each ladder, hoping, praying that would work…but I got these big gaps. Did I say it was 2am and the good ole alarm goes off at 4:15? Yeah THAT! Needless to say I was anything but happy.
So about that time when you didn’t mean to drop the stitch and uhm…yea achieved the perfect ladder, so what happened here? Talking about being over it! Like my favorite T-shirt says #iCant I was completely UNABLEtoCan…so there is that!
I just didn’t like it, so I ripped it baby, I ripped it right. Lol wrong song….
but you get the picture. I like the yarn too much to waste it, so back to the drawing board.
So can we call this #UNFINISHEDFriday? hahahahahahahaaa

Oh nooooo I hate when knitting goes wrong…..especially so close to the alarm going off….smh. The plus side is that you get to work with that gorgeous yarn again
Exactly!! Thanks for reading
Q – It’s only taken me 60+ years to figure out, which I did this past December, that if I’m tired and something is going wrong just put it down and walk away! Actually did that twice in December and surprise, surprise the next morning the objects “behaved” and I was able to finish them without problems. One has to be this wise old age to figure that one out! LOL! You still have quite a few years ahead of you…… The yarn is gorgeous and the “ladders” YIKES! LOL!
Yikes is right, the most annoying part was I had done this pattern before so why was it driving me insane this time..UGHHHH
Q – My craziness was over two pairs of pajamas! Really????? I can’t even begin to count how many pairs I’ve made since I started sewing. Super easy. Sigh…….
