what makes a little fellow like this ...



turn into this?


i'm sure it has something to do with the not so innocent beverage in the left side of the photo!

just ask Schmutzi Meilenweit.

in knitting news, i did rip out my 4 or 5 rows of sock, and haven't sat back down to get the stitches back where they belong. i've never had so many problems with a sock before. it's not hard or difficult, i just get going and keep going 'round and 'round, and forget to pause and do the plain areas in between. i plan on getting a fair amount of knitting done tomorrow on the plane, so i need to quit making this same mistake so i can make some progress! in preparation for my trip, i got a new stitch gauge! see!


i think i own about 5 or 6 of these things now. but, i only know where one of them is. i'm determined not to lose this one. i think some of my old ones are stuffed into books somewhere on the knitting shelf ....

i leave very early tomorrow morning for vermont. i had planned on having a cardigan knitted by now, to wear to the festival. instead, i had 3 new pairs of socks. what happened? oh yeah, i moved and had a lot on my mind, and couldn't commit to a sweater.
