G is for Grumpy

I finally took a photo with my stole on. It's long enough to make a decent poncho! Just 5.5 repeats left. I knit 2 rows tonight, even though it's not on my knitting schedule until Saturday. It was a nice break from struggling with the hell I created for myself. There seems to be a mistake at the end of the short rows and I'm trying to figure it out. The problem is, I think I made a mistake checking it and now I have to go back and figure out if I made a mistake knitting or if I made a mistake reading or if the mistake is in the pattern. I have to admit, knitting this pattern from the text isn't much fun. Knitting it from the chart is better. Granted, it's not the most beautiful chart in the world, but I never expected anyone else to see it when I made it.

I've had it. The stupid pattern has won. The dishes have won. The huge pile of laundry has won. My throbbing toe has won (I smashed it against the window that is leaning against the wall in the hall and split my toenail and have a huge blood blister). I'm going to grump off to bed.
