I honestly feel like I'm not getting *anything* done with knitting this month! I've been running into problems with my socks, which has had me ripping out far more work than usual, and it's starting to drive me a bit crazy!
Alas, I have learned some things:
- Do not attempt to kitchener when in a rush. The results will be fugly, and you will have to rip it out.
- Do not attempt to rip out above mentioned kitchener stitches during OR after consuming alcoholic beverages. It also, will not be pretty - in fact, you will likely end up ripping out more (i.e - half a toe or worse) than you would have had to if you just would have waited .
- Put down your knitting before you get so mad as to rip out half a sock (I, luckily, knew this one already, and did follow it, or I would have no more Leyburn socks)
- Sometimes - just sometimes, you might need to ask someone for help in learning/figuring out a technique (I think I need to do this, in regards to short-row heels. They don't like me.)
- Buying yarn when you're stressed really *does* help you feel better. But...
- Sometimes, just sometimes, buying yarn is somewhat stress inducing.
- Sometimes, the cure to everything, is knitting something for someone who is little, cute, and thinks you are the most awesome person ever.
- Magic Loop is awesome. I need more circs in sock sizes.
That's all for now...
