Last night I had a feeling that I made mistake with the pattern for my Dad's Aran vest, but I was too tired to check it out. Well - this morning (before I left for work) I looked at it, and my gut feeling was right. Darnit - I realized that I misread the pattern and forgot two rows on each repeat of the diamond pattern...which screws up the following repeats.
So, I took another project on the bus, and when I get home I will have to rip half of what I knitted so far. Oh man, that really makes me not want to knit the vest. But I'll get over it.
BTW - Hubby asked me today what bobbles are and what I meant by "you-know-what" (in yesterday's blog entry). Too funny. :-) We had a good laugh.
So, since this Aran vest is almost driving me to drink, I found a cool link on JenLa's blog for different drinks - you can see it on my sidebar, it changes daily. Today is Dr Pepper. I always thought that was just a soft drink - little did I know... So at least I can read about alcohol to fortify myself for the ripping ordeal tonight. :-)
AND - I just found out that I am in the newspaper today - go check it out. That just made my day! AND - the new Knitty is out with some gorgeous sock patterns. Oje - so-o-o-o many patterns, so little time, and only two hands... And then my favorite pattern is a pair of knee socks - Clessidra - go figure... Take a peek - photo courtesy of knitty.com:
HAPPY THURSDAY NOW - at least until I get to the ball winder tonight!!! Maybe with some red wine... To ease the pain...
