I had to frog my frill. I checked the gauge when I started but must have gotten distracted or something because I made a humongous mistake. I didn’t use the correct needle size and just happily knit along. Then when I got to the body I noticed my stole wasn’t wide enough. That’s when I remembered I didn’t grab the right needles. Just a total brain dead moment. So I’ve started it again.

A weird thing with me. Even though I love my computer and all my other digital fun toys I’ve never been a new cell phone person. I’ve never seen the point in getting the most new fangled one. I know people who get new cell phones every year. Not me. I had a well used phone that was all ratty and banged up that I got from my sister. I never had any desire for a new cell phone.

Well we went with a new cell phone company and I couldn’t keep my old ratty phone. So I got a new one. But I guess that isn’t such a bad thing because my new cell phone takes pictures! And I have to say the pictures look pretty good:

I’ve been knitting like there’s no tomorrow. Because there isn’t! I thought I had more time to finish these leg-warmers but nope. My friend called me earlier in the afternoon and said she needed them by the time she got off work. So Alan said, “I guess we’re not going anywhere today!”. And my response to my friend was silence. I think I was in shock. Needed them by 7 p.m.?! No freaking way. So she pushed it back, she’s coming for them first thing in the morning. Still a daunting task but I did it!! Leg-warmers all knit up!! Now I just need to stitch it up.

I’m getting closer to finishing those leg-warmers. I really hope I can finish it by this weekend! I need 5″ on one and 8″ on the other. I feel so pressured. I’ve never had a deadline on my knitting! Not a real deadline, just ones set by me, big fake deadlines.

I’ve been knitting like a fiend. But amazingly it’s still coming out fine. No mistakes or weird tension. They are looking very pretty and sparkly.

Hee hee a Halloween header for Waldo and Nestle. Makes me want to make a different header for this blog so I can update it with the seasons. Hmm….I can’t think of anything right now.

Here are the leg-warmers so far. My friend said something that made so much sense. It was a lightbulb that went off in my head. I would never have thought of it. She showed me the one leg-warmer she made and said she should have done them both at the same time. That way she could have matched them up perfectly. What a great idea! I’ll remember that for the next time I’m making two of the same thing.
