Ooops...I Did It Again

The one project that had to go along with me to Detroit was the KAL stocking. I was trying to keep up with Arne and Carlos and was doing just fine until.....disaster struck AGAIN.
I was sitting in the hotel watching their daily video and listening to them chatter about the after thought heel when I realized in horror that I was knitting mine upside down which means I had put the heel where it should be on a TOE UP SOCK and NOT where it should be on a cuff down. Arghhhhh.......rip, rip, rip. Three more days of work down the drain.
At least Pup was very agreeable on the 10 hour ride home watching me furiously get caught back up once AGAIN. This is what I get for rushing the season, I suppose. Christmas knitting shouldn't be happening in November at least not for me.
And speaking of rushing the season, look what The Mister came home with yesterday.
It all showed up pretty early this year.
Even the big town tree is up.

oops! Sorry about the sock. I just started turning the heel on my latest sock in Sunday School this morning. I spent 8 hours after getting home working on Christmas cards. It may be the last year I send them if the postage keeps going up, up, up. I bought 400 forever stamps just before the last price increase. That way I don't feel guilty about sending them this year. But next year? Who knows?
ReplyDeleteDecember 1 is the Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend!!!! That's crazy. Maybe that's why everyone is rushing to get things up and decorated. I'm not putting any Christmas up until after the Thanksgiving weekend. We're celebrating that with our kids first. Although we will open Christmas gifts that weekend before they go back home.
Pup looks very happy in the backseat with her Mama. Love it.
Blessings and hugs,
Betsy
There are Christmas decorations up all over - makes me crazy!! Let's just do the holidays one at a time. That is one long trip you and the Mister took...sorry about the mis-placed heel.
ReplyDeleteIt might not matter where the heel is on a stocking but it would still look strange in the wrong place. My grandmother had a saying, "The hurrier I go, the behinder I get," and that might be the case for Christmas knitting.
ReplyDeleteBummer but glad your bounced back on the drive home!
ReplyDeletePup looks pretty pleased actually...
ReplyDeleteOur neighbour across the street put their Christmas stuff up the day after Halloween!!! I wonder if it was in retaliation for me putting my Halloween graveyard out Oct 1st? Lol.
When Dave put the Halloween stuff in the crawl space, he brought all the Christmas tubs out. They are now sitting in the dining room and they will stay there until December 1st! No Christmas until Dec in this house!!!
There's not much that Christmas things can't make better.
ReplyDeleteI think it is the 'lateness' of Thanksgiving and the general malaise of the world that causes Christmas to get going much earlier. I'm ok with it!
ReplyDeleteThat is a gorgeous sock, hope you have got the heal sorted now.
ReplyDeleteSorry about the sock issues - it must be the week since i had to frog a sock and start again too.
