Me and Mr. Spreadsheet Made it Through..

I have progress!



I don't know if you can see the safety pin or not at the top corner.. but.. I am not committed yet. I am not sure if my short rows have gone the right way and done what they are supposed to do or not.. but one side of the collar is an inch shorter than the other side.. so I think it might be right... I'm just not sure yet.

I don't know how long I will be able to keep that safety pin and the ball of yarn attached.. but I'm thinking I might break out a new ball to start the Right front..

Oh..... I think I just got light headed thinking about the Right front...

You see... "do it all again, but the other way" is really really scary with this pattern... so I intend to type out all the real instructions.. but I have fears that I will miss some stupid little detail and it will be all.. my.. fault...

I am scared..

But.. I will persevere.

Oh and I found a new project to satisfiy my work knitting..

Liz has tempted me into knitting my own Saturday Market Bag, which is just the right thing I need for our grocerie shopping.

It's really interesting making such big loops.. and it's a little freeing too because if you make a mistake.... you can't really tell.. because it's just big loops. Heh.. Just the right thing for when I have to set it down and answer the phone, or talk to a parent about their bill, or worry about some woman's throw-up not flushing down the toilet.

Ok that last part sounds really gross.. but I swear to you it happened the other day.. This woman went to our restroom and then came out and went up to the desk and said, "Uh, I just wanted you to know that I just hurrled in the toilet and it won't flush."

Our work toilet does this weird thing where it only flushes properly every other time or something.. it's weird... and bad... Especially when that happens.. Hurrling.. ew.

Not that you guys really needed to know any of that.. but that is my work life... lol.

So now I just have to worry about writing out the instructions for the Right front... and hoping that it comes out as a mirror image of the Left front... With button holes... can't forget the button holes.

(This is the part where you hold my hand and tell me that everything will be ok. And offer nice tips. This is the first time that I think that a glass of wine might actually ease the knitting process... but I know better than that.)

I was just considering making that exact same bag today! Great minds think alike...

I'm holding your hand - it will all be ok. Just don't go and hurl in the non-flushing toilet over it, ok?
