It's monday again...

Sorry no photos to show atm..

Keeping a blog really makes me aware of how many days we have in the week, as I struggle with titles for entries on mondays and saturdays. Those two days I seem to have the least creativity for titles. Maybe because on monday I'm thinking, "Ah gee wiz it's monday again.." and on saturday I am thinking "heck yeah man it's saturday!" so that seems to not leave much room for anything else.

This weekend I cast on for the sleeves, I opted to do 1 at a time sence it's my first sleeve. Probably best I did. I had to frog it twice. First time I was about 8 inches into the sleeve and I increased wrong. For one thing it was my first time increasing on an actual project, and I also read the pattern wrong. I increased every row for about 4 inches after the ribbing and as it turned into a triangle I realized.. agh crud. I was supposed to increase every 4th row.

So I frogged back to nearly the ribbing and went another 4 inches. It was past midnight, I should have known better. It looked like crud because the first time I frogged I didn't frog far enough. Ribbit, Ribbit. So in total I frogged 8 inches, and with a sleeve that only had to be 16, that was half the work out the window. So now I am back at about 6 inches or so. Being wise and taking my time, and it looks much nicer to.

Also if I inc 1 st at the end of every 4th row, arn't I always increasing on the same side?? Won't that be weird??

The pup kept stealing my sheep measuring tape. I hide it in my knitting bag and the dog stuck his skinny nose into the bag when I was in the bathtub, snuck it out without disturbing the bag or the sweater half that it was under. There I found the sheep in the middle of the floor, looking very dead. It still works tho, but the fur is all matted and he looks like a sheep with a mohawk.

My parent's dog kept stealing my sheep measuring tape when I was home as well. I think it looks like several of her toys. I was knitting with my bag open and it was on top of my things and she just stuck her head down there and took it out.
