Never tempt the Knittting Gods.

For they are vile and fickle. This I have learned.

The past couple days I've really been craving lace. I've been surfing the ravelry and everything I added to my to do list was lace. Lace. Lace. Lace. So I decided that instead of casting on yet another project, I would dig out my Kimono Shawl that had been banished to the bottom of the UFO box. I was uber proud of myself, for being able to 'read' the lace pattern better. So I was thinking I was all hot stuff, and flew threw a pattern repeat. It was at about 10 pm last night that I held it up and realized that... you got it... I had re-started the pattern in the wrong spot. d'oh!

So, I got to frog 25 or so rows. Which is exactly the amount I had knit yesterday. Ugh. So. Now I'm back to where I was when I picked it up. Blast and Damn.

I've been thinking of digging out that UFO box, and being completely honest with y'all and posting it all on my projects list in ravelry. That way I can honestly see what I have. And when I get an itch to work on something (like lace) I'm pretty sure I have something sitting around that I could pick up. There is a sock and the very start of the second on in there. (that's posted) There is a scarf that I'm probably 1/4 the way done with. I know I've got a Dale baby sweater in there, and my Morale builders in there as well. Funny thing is, the reason a lot of the projects are in there is because of Siris. He goes all crazy with the yarn, and I get frustrated, and I toss it in the box. To rewind at a later date. Well, when I was cleaning, I did all the rewinding, so I should be able to just start knitting again. In Theory. If of course, I sacrifice a chicken or something to those fickle knitting gods first.
