I'll have to think about my latest knitting revelation and post it later this week, if I can get the brain tissue working in that direction. <BR/><BR/>Also... if you have an email address that you don't mind sharing, I'll answer your comments on my JustAprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16743298029997051043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3699017079127427420.post-77058364325972609162008-09-23T06:55:00.000-07:002008-09-23T06:55:00.000-07:00Well done!

(I'm not being sarcastic here. Dead serious.) <BR/><BR/>I think my biggest fear and revelation discovery was when I first started doing design work and felt downright sick with anxiety over the notion that my sweater sample might be late.

There was recover, but it required tinking back about 10 rows. When I did Leo for Shane I had no qualms about dropping a stitch down 40 rows to fix a purl that should have been a knit (anal much Sara?). You are a fearless knitter!essjayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05053386544429548424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3699017079127427420.post-75092338775864499892008-09-23T05:38:00.000-07:002008-09-23T05:38:00.000-07:00Well, there was the time the dog took the bag I'm ...Well, there was the time the dog took the bag I'm knitting on 00 needles with size 30 crochet thread and chewed on it. This is a dog who chewed up a soup can so it looked like someone had shot at it.<BR/><BR/>I didn't even look at my knitting for a couple of days.<BR/><BR/>When I finally did, I found he had broken <B>one</B> stitch, which I repaired with an extra piece of thread and a needle.
