so here i am at Bound for Glory, listening to Small Potatoes, working on my glitten (half glove half mitten, to go with the Tabi i have yet to blog about.), when the rule comes to bite me in the kiester!
i had finished making the hand down to where i needed a thumb, and i'd made the thumb. so i went to knit the thumb in with the rest of the hand... easy, right? i got all the way around the hand and back to the thumb before i realized what i had done. i held it so my Mom could see, and she starts laughing. well, stifling the giggles, since this is the last song of the last set. so i start stifling the giggles. Helena looks over from her 2 inches of sweater, and i try showing it to her.
she doesn't get the joke. so i put it on so she can see the error. by the time that the last song was over, and the show outtro, and the two-song encore, we've mostly stopped the giggling, and i've figured out how to show the obviousness of the stupid thing i'd done...
"it was a really good last set..." sez me. this was funny, but once i'd shown it to all the knitters, including one of the performers, it was time for a few pics...
and home... i should have this finished by tonight or tomorrow night... pics of the whole "pair" then...
