Fidgety Knitting

Tuesday It's The New Monday

It is official, I have pissed off the Karma Goddess... ROYALLY

First, and most importantly is the vacation weather. What the FUCK I am going South to be in the SUN. I wanted to take this nice photo of a sock on a beach or something. Snorkeling in the refuge does not have the same appeal if it is drizzling on you. And trekking around a volcano with an umbrella doesn't exactly exude allure. THIS... IT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. I swear to yee Gods... if it is raining while I am there- I am sacrificing one of your asses to a volcano (there are two live ones I am supposed to visit and I WILL trek up to the crate's edge just to get a good spiteful shove in the rain to you); in the hopes that it will bring the sun, or at least make me feel better when I am stuck trying to find a museum.

Next we come to the knitting. After some strategic shopping for the vacation weather (well strategic for what I want the weather to be) I found an adorable dress.

I dare you to try and tell me that doesn't scream Sicilian holiday. It does. And I thought since evenings might be a bit chilly... I could finish a perfect knit. That is right I could finish Cutaway. WHAT AN IDEA!!

So I threw Tivoli aside (haven't even ripped yet...) and started piecing things together. I hooked the shoulders together and seamed half of the set in on the sleeve last night. Today after I got home from work I forced myself to follow up and finish setting in the sleeve...

Yeah ummm not what I was expecting. BUGGER. So it is official I know not what I am doing and my knitting is punishing me for that mercilessly. We have demonstrated how to make sleeves long enough for an Orangutang. Actually Orangutangs were my favorite Zoo animal as a kid (besides the "exotic" bird I had as a pet that the zoo had too... yeah trump that at the next "show and tell" Billy!) but while I may scratch the armpit on occasion I don't have long arms. Now what to do... restart the sleeves?? Ignore and continue on?? Remain in holding pattern and go buy self a black cardigan cause this one aint gonna be done in time (not with work, a dinner, packing, and shoe shopping to do, plus getting that cardigan)...

And don't even get me started on the crap job. Ass bleed is here and my job it sucks CLOWNS ASS like a magnum powered Hoover. At least this poppy did make the walk home a bit cheerier. Pure fluke, but the photo I took turned out neat if I say so myself and that is my saving grace for the day.

Yeah so Tuesday... it is the New Monday, can't wait to see what Friday (departure day) brings!
