yeah right...so i was knitting right along on sunrise circle jacket. the back is essentially done and i heard that it helps to knit the front first and adjust the back to fit you...so i decide hey i can do this so i knit the sleeve and part of the front and ...its too big. like 5 extra inches of sleeve too big. back to the drawing board. i've been drawing the pattern out on graph paper to copy over to my gauge graph paper and it seems like it should work...if i'd only done this at first...oh well. so ripping out of an almost whole sweater front and sleeve to follow this evening :( photos to follow
yup. thats right i've sent off my swap package for hogwarts sock swap ...unfortunately via muggle post. sigh. have i ever told you how much i hate the post office? apparently the box i was recycling from starbucks wasn't good enough and i had to repack the goodies at the post office into a priortiy box at wich point they couldn't find me any tape so they made me use the priority mail tape but i couldn't tape up the box the guy did it for me so he went around the box 3 different ways. he taped my scribbled address onto the box from my notes sheet. wouldn't le tme go get alabe or anything and half the address got covered by priority mail tape but its fine...what? anyhoo. i hoep it gets where it is supposed to go. i'll be blogstalking to make sure it does :) what was in said oddly taped package you say? well... socks of course. bertie botts. plus regular and sour flavored beans. some dark chocolate for the witch or wizard with more evil tastes. cow tal...
