Hi,
Yesterday I don't know if it was a full moon or not, but I kneeled on the bed and broke a knitting needle, then I pulled out my tape measure, pressed the button to make it go back in again and it just died. Then this morning I stepped on another knitting needle.
Also I know I was tired last night but I decided to sew up my son's jumper, I had a look at it this morning and I'd sewed up the neck and you don't want to know where one of the sleeves ended up.
Knit in peace and harmony.

Sounds like one of those days, you know, when you just really have to leave the knitting alone, get a blankie and a good book and hibernate before you do grievous injury to yourself or your knitting!! That's my solution, it works for me although its hard to ignore the current WIP whispering my name, calling to me to come knit!!

Ya, I think I'd take a break from the knitting. Of course my break would probably involve a bottle of red wine :-)

Hi - I had a day like that yesterday ! At 5pm Sydney time (Sunday 24th)we had a power blackout after a tree hit powerlines a few metres up the road!Strong winds all day and threats of bushfires everywhere - I couldn't use the computer[crazy][crazy] and its difficult to knit by candlelight !! The power was off until 8.30 pm -[!][!]back on again now and at least we are all safe and counting our blessings!!!!Happy knitting everyone!!Lucylocket |

Rose, days like that try the patience of a saint. I find it hard to act like a mature adult...you know, a big sigh and a "so-be-it" with no screaming, cussing or any other sort of vent.
That is why I like the bottle of red wine idea!

That does sound like having a bad day. I think it's definitely a day to curl up with a book and hibernate. Just to stay out of trouble, you know.

Hi,
I definitely like the red wine idea.
LucyLocket I heard you had really bad winds up in Sydney and that the bushfires have already started, you are in the Blue Mountains aren't you. Take care and get all the crap out of the gutter (like I have to tell you that, duh!!!).

I don't drink but I do make bread. One can work out a lot of frustrations while kneading bread. Just don't try to knit without washing our hands well, really well, after kneading.
Unfortunately, I speak from experience.
Rose, I do hope things have improved Down Under. I have friends in WA and I often sign myself Margie, Up Over. Makes sense to me but then I'm kind of wierd.

Hi LucyLocket,
My sister lives in the Adelaide Hills and she always thought they'd never have a bushfire and look what happened there, you have to be careful darling.
Thanks for the good luck, I seriously need it.
Wanda your a star, thank you for the hug.
Margie I think we are all weird in our own ways, that's why we are knitters.

Hi, Rose. I'm in Georgia--it's actually cool here this morning and a nice change from very warm days.
I'm so sorry about you've had such a bad time of it. I love to read, too, and that's my other soother, beside knitting.
What is a jumper? I've seen the term in other posts,too, and thought it might be some type of sweater. Is that right?

Rose, you made me smile ruefully as once a month I turn into an utter carthorse where I sit on needles, break crockery and walk into things I am capable of effectively circumnavigating for the other three weeks of the month. Luckily I avoid the attendant mood swings so I can still laugh at myself.
What you did to your son's jumper though sounds very funny - I'd love to see a picture of him trying to get into it...
Hang in there!
Jane
PS Barbara, a jumper in the UK and Australia is indeed what you call a sweater.

Well if you do, Barbara, there will be a warm London welcome waiting for you!

Oh Rose, I felt like you were living my life! I hope things are better for you. I've just gotten used to things. If it wasn't for bad luck I wouldn't have any luck at all! ;-)

Hi Jane,
You too huh!!! Speaking of visiting when will you be back again or for good?
You know I couldn't think of how to explain a jumper, I thought jersey, but you've hit it on the head, a sweater.
Jaime, I've got a feeling its to do with chocolate time.
