Well Hello Murphy, How the hell are ya?
It started when I tried to throw our money in the trash. Next thing you know I'm making passwords so secure it will cost us a tidy sum to break back into our own electronics. And I'm shattering very large bottles of soy sauce merely by opening the Refrigerator door. My coup de grâce transpired when I was knitting gauge swatche(s!!) for Stefanie Japel's
How it is possible to knit two identical swatches on different sized needles I do not know.
I can however pinpoint when things started their downhill slide (or cascading failure mode, you pick). I blarmy well substituted carrot and celery sticks for carbs earlier this week. Ridiculous isn't it?
I am trying to make right with the Universe by eating my ever faithful Costco Chicken slathered in Mayo, christened with cheese, and topped off with heirloom tomato on whole wheat bread. (Washed down with Diet C*ke). Just in time to discover a 50% off sale on all items at a yarn shop local to our visit.
Is that a my familiar friend Kismet on the horizon?

I want that book...I should probably buy it soon, or I'll be staging a secret ninja raid on your house. Hey, it worked with the 5-college sweater pattern!
That's what you get for going to 50% off sales without me.

We can trade the book if you'd like. I'm knitting the only pattern in there that suits me. No night time Ninja raids necessary, we can meet in honest daylight.
I meant to respond to you about the 5 college yarn. I'm using wendy peter pan DK merino, and it suits the pattern very well. I had to work some stitch magic to get the dimensions I wanted but it's cool. I have a ball of the amherst and it doesn't feel all that different from the Wendy. It's just a tad larger is all.
I'll be curious to see the sweater knit as it's intended (if that's what you do!)

I'd recommend a cup of tea, but with Murphy hanging around it might not be a good plan...
