Wednesday Review

Well, I would like to  have something of vital importance to review today, but I don't. I only have a miscellaneous rambling. I recently went on a really long car trip. I mean really long. 6 hrs each way. I brought 2 knitting projects with me, and had high hopes of making a serious dent in either one of them. Imagine my surprise when, attacking them with real focus, I discover the patterns to be so complex that I can't even make a nubble, let alone a dent in any of them for the entire trip?! For every time I try, I get my nickers in a twist, a migraine, and serious car sickness. And I am never car sick. Never. I couldn't even do them in the hotel. I had to keep frogging them out. It was maddening!
Then I had a close friend who ordered a hat, scarf, and glove set from me. For some strange reason, this set has been doomed from the beginning. The hat had to be frogged, but was finally finished. The complex lace scarf got coffee spilt all over it, yarn had to be reordered, it took forever, but it is finally finished. And now the glove pattern was driving me insane. The time crunch was just getting to me. So I scrapped 2 of the original patterns I had, scrapped the yarn, and I am going to the old gift standby, my lettuce arm warmers. I know that y'all are tired of seeing them, but for the price of the yarn, it is a good value and warm. Also, it is done in a jiffy and produce impressive results. And they are always a crowd pleaser. I already have one arm done. Results to follow on Friday.
