I should just really just expect a comedy of errors when it comes to my knitting.
Yet again a small tragedy has befallen my wimple.
Picture this - knitting laying on the bed- I throw the covers back- grab my MacBook - ready for some quality FB time (Bejeweled Blitz doncha know ) and lean back- craaaack- loud expletive ( insert imagination here) and then, without a second glance, I throw it on the floor!
Yea...That was adult like behavior!
Today I remembered my little tantrum and picked my knitting up off the floor only to discover about 4 inches worth of stitches hanging in the breeze. Ouch! Weell that's what you get for acting like a spoiled brat!
That was a lot of yarn overs to put back on the needles! But still, I must have done it right since all of my purls ended up in the right places.
I'm really glad that I had bought an extra set of Harmony's!
I think I am nearly back to where I started over from. And looking pretty good too if I do say so myself.
My dad says " What are you knitting now??" Hmmm how do I explain to him what a wimple is?
"Well...it's a kind of hood" I say,
" A hood?? for what?? "
"Um..to wear in cooler weather?"
Yup- he still looks at me like I'm from Planet X.
Eat your heart out!!! Yes.. I have a Tangerine tree in my back yard...with...wait for it... 22 tangerines!!
Yup ...Dad counted them.
Then we have this pathetic little orange tree that we are going to try save. It seems to have only one good live branch, it even has some viable oranges on it. Kinda looks a little like it was struck by lightening, the poor thing.

Tangerines? Oooh, I am so jealous. Enjoy!
Good save on the wimple stitches. I'm not sure I could have done it with the yarn overs.
Dad tells me it has to get cold before they are ripe. I told him define cold...LOL
Those yarn overs were kind of a pain. I wasn't sure til the next round that I had it right.
I love the color of your Wimple! Is that fingering weight? I would've cried over all those dropped stitches but I'm sort of wimpy and at my wits ends these days!
What great fruit trees! Does anything but out of control weeds grow here in TN? LOL! My flowerbeds are so sad looking.
Love the look of your blog now! Now I want to change up mine! ;O) ((hugs))
