Regular Blogging Will Resume

After trauma of Student Loan Consolidation wears off. I expect this will take time. I tried to fool the Pedantic Bureaucrat Spirits of the Internet Troll Gate Keeper of the Internets The US Government Direct Loan Services website by filling out the proper forms on paper and electronically three times, taking up at least 5 hours of my precious time. Somehow I tricked the fates into allowing electronic submission of the proper forms. We won't discuss how much I owe, it is simply too depressing. But I have 30 years to pay the lot off. I can't wait to be 58 and debt free. Woo Ha.

Here are some pictures of Knitterly Progress to help forget the traumas of Bureaucracy.

I'm thinking of adding more than 7 repeats since I have some extra yarn. My only complaint is having to count after each right side row because I am paranoid afraid of making mistakes.

I've seamed up the sides of Ribs 'N Lace. Inexplicably the right side seems longer than the left. But it's seemed up and looks ok. I cast on and frogged the sleeve three times so far. This is the least Pirate-y (Ok Johnny Depp makes a good looking Pirate. But let's face facts, it's a hard look to pull off) looking as it's going to get without some stockinette on the inside of the arm. I'll be leaving out the suggested zipper on the back. Why anyone would add a zipper to a garment when it's not really necessary is beyond me.

Now if you excuse me, I'm going to go beat my head against the wall a few more hours to let out the pent up frustration of dealing with Federal Student Loan Consolidations.

Have a Great Weekend!
