Hey LooK!

I knitted a sock...

sweet sock, right?

and then frogged it...

*sniffle*

Lessons Learned:

1. ALWAYS do a gauge swatch.
2. Just because you're really thin, doesn't mean you should just go for the smaller size.
3. Everyone in BloGLanD is telling the truth, Jaywalkers are really that tight.

I've been sort of busy, and it seems like not as many folks are reading my blog. Maybe if I write really trashy stuff about celebrities, or post pictures of political figures in scandalous positions more people will stop by??? Suggestions? anyone?

I blame Reese Witherspoon.

If she wasn't such a covincing idiot, I never would have ruined my beautiful RPM sock. I was just knitting along and minding my own business when she destroyed what I had worked so hard to create. Somehow, during the first 20 minutes of Legally Blonde I had moved the stitch pattern over 4 or 5 stitches. OH yeah! Did I mention I was on the last pattern repeat before the heel flap? Yeah, it sux. If it had been on bigger needles, I could have just pulled back the 9 rows i messed up. Unfortunately, I don't have the patience to pick up 80ish stitches on size 1 needles. I frogged the whole damn thing! His remains lie here:


frogged rpm


Even Dave was asking why I frogged the entire sock. It's a small price to pay for my sanity.



*WARNING* DO NOT WATCH THE FOLLOWING CLIP WHILE KNITTING!!!!





I didn't want to torture you all with real clips from the movie. Can you believe it's a goddamn musical? HAHAHA.

I've frogged Le slouch, it was to small.

I've frogged the Big Damn Hat, it was too big.

Big Blue Beret better be just right.

If not, I'm going to be one pissed off glob of pink frosting.
