I Was Going to Post

But then I decided I'd rather knit. I'm trying to finish the prairie blanket. I am beginning to hate it. I'm really wondering if I should give it to anyone for the purpose of swaddling a baby. I've knitted so much stress/anger/negative vibe into it that I'm afraid a baby wrapped in it would become very cranky indeed.

Despite how long it's taking me and the annoyance at finishing I'm learning a lot* from this blanket.

• There is a special place in hell for the inventor of p2togtbl and the designers who use it.
• Cotton, even a cotton blend is heavy.
• I really didn't need to use a size 6 needle. 7 or 8 would have been better. This is one dense blankie.
• Baby Hats are faster than blankets and from now on I'll keep those in stock instead.
• YO sucks. You are guaranteed to forget at least one and then you'll have to rip back to fix it.
• I reiterate: YO sucks. I hate them.
• I need to remember that PMS and knitting do not mix.
• I need to remember that my PMS lasts approximately 28 days.
  

Well look at that. I guess I did post.

*add "a lot" to the list of annoying words. An English teacher I work with hates it when the students use it.
