I have had a mysterious illness that no amount of blood-letting seems to help. Don't try to tell me doctors have stopped this archaic practice. My right arm will beg to differ. They just use syringes instead of leeches.
Then I get summoned for jury duty. AGAIN! I swore that it had been less than a year since my last summons and dug out the paper and.... it was a year ago in December. Not even close.
A measly 2 hours later my netbook died. The screen cracked right before my very eyes. No amount of explaining could convince Chris that I hadn't dropped, hit or stepped on the netbook. I am me. He knows me, he lives with me. And while electronics frequently self-destruct in my presence, somehow this was something I had done. He watches me walk into walls and furniture daily. I had obviously dropped it and didn't want to admit it. He ordered a replacement screen and when he went to install it, there was a bad wire that had shorted out and fried the screen. Redemption was bittersweet as we hunted for a new netbook.
I thought I had a perfect karma-cleanse all lined up. I dug out my Colts scarf and decided to restart it for the 6th time . This time I had a great pattern, but it was still a bust. The yarn I'm using sucks. I hate it. Instantly my hands dry out. My fingers actually split open and bled where the yarn was tensioned over my fingers. I think they spun fiberglass in with the wool. So even though it looks like this on one side:
and this on the other:
I just can't continue. Maybe I will tear it out (again) and wash the whole kit and caboodle and try again. Maybe I will just send it to my Mom and be done with it. Find a different yarn to knit this awesome pattern with. Suggestions?
Maybe you should just "TAKE" that yarn to your Mom...some time at home might help your Karma. If that just isn't possible.......maybe she can come get it? As a last resort......I suppose washing it might help. The pattern is entirely too beautiful to abandon it altogether!
