Rantings and Ravings..

I had an awful knitting disaster yesterday and I still haven't recovered. It was that bad. Let's just say there was a lot of unraveling going on and leave it at that for now. When I went to re-do that which needed to be re-done I discovered I had LOST one end of the interchangeable needle I needed and it was the only one I had in that size. Then I remembered I had the new Prym needles in that size so I cast on and.......they were the WORST needles I have ever used in my ENTIRE LIFE. I know I was upset and frustrated but seriously, those are some awful needles and I paid a fortune for the set. First, that tip. Why? You can't do increases with that. Believe me, I tried and tried.  Second, there is no slip. You have to shove each and every stitch. It's weirdly grippy. Not a fan. 

At least the mystery KAL stocking was playing nice. I don't know how but I have been able to keep up. I can knit the 6 rows in the time it takes to listen to the day's episode but I do admit that even as pleasant as this should be, it's a drag knowing it's waiting to be done. 

My day got off to a bad start when after therapy, I was going downstairs to clean up the mess from making The Mister's cards and move it all back into my craft room. That's when HE decided HE wanted to help me finish mine. Bless his heart but it was the last thing I wanted to hear. Mr Ants in the Pants is driving me crazy right now. He's been cooped up too long and he's on my last nerve. I hadn't planned on doing the same card but that's what I ended up doing. I even simplified them even more just to get it over with. I confess to not being on my best behavior during the making. The Mister got snapped at a few times. I'm hanging onto my holiday spirit by a thread. I either need a snowstorm or a bottle of eggnog-the kind with the booze. I'm more likely to get the eggnog. In fact, I'm putting it on my grocery list right now.
