(no subject)
Why am I so tired even after I sleep so much?? Even right now I can barely keep my eyes open. *yawn for emphasis*
But, as nice and wonderful as it would be to crawl back into bed and pass out for the remainder of the afternoon, I cannot. I have errands to run. I will not be a lazy slug all day, thinking about how I really should be doing something else. I will actually do it.
Did I mention that I cast on for Pretty in Pink? I've knit about 2.5 inches so far. I have my doubts about being able to finish it with a mere two balls of yarn (the number called for for my size). Good thing I bought three!
Edit: So it turns out that I fail at non-knitting craftiness. -.- I bought a bunch of "craft fabric" to make cute headbands using the Hooray for Headbands pattern. Cut out pieces. Check. Sew tube leaving 1/4" seam allowance. Check. Whoops, I left 1/2" and tube is really skinny. Decided to do massive seam allowance on tabs, too, to keep things the same. Put tabs right side together and seam. Check. Except that I started with 1/2" and ended with 1/4" cause I'm not steady around curves. -.- Decided that this, too, would be OK. Until I realized that somehow I had not seamed the tabs right sides together, but right side to wrong side. Which is sort of funny, because I definitely made a point of making sure the right sides were together.. except apparently I was off in lalaland as I did so.
In short, that headband is not going to happen. Perhaps I will rip it back and try again. Much later. I might pick one of the not-so-cute fabrics and try again later this evening. That way it'll be OK if I screw up again. ^^;;
Only I could mess up such a simple pattern.
