D’oh Deux
This is what happens when you write a post that says “knitting is so easy and simple blah blah.” The gods of carelessness and blithe misjudgement rise up and smite yo’ ass.
D’oh.
Sigh.
One advantage sewing has is that it is so quick (perhaps if I had paused and used my brain instead of grabbing an idle passing fancy of misguided impulse I would not have sewed my teabag shut) that a mistake can be made, realised and remedied in the space of minutes.
I would be embarrassed to admit how long this took me before I thought, “uh, hey!”
In mitigating circumstances I am retraining my knitting style to be the two stranded knitting norwegian purl and english style instead of my incredibly inefficient (but fast, still pretty fast) throwing style. So that was all good practice I guess, and I’ll get faster and faster. (I hope.)
