Proof and a review

For your pleasure, here is some more proof that I am an idiot and/or in dire need of sleep and/or a vacation.

  • I knit two left sleeves for the same sweater - yes, the sleeves are actually slightly different, thank god it's just at the top.
  • The sleeve caps are screwed up so I now have to rip the tops of my right and left sleeves.
  • I didn't trust myself and now will have to rip the last 5000 stitches of the sweater body.
  • I came very close to brushing my teeth with face cream.
  • I don't remember how to spell things in English anymore. And even when I know, I don't pay attention. I keep writing "I'll meat you" instead of "I'll meet you" which is definitely not the same thing.
  • I'm thinking of baking a cheesecake instead of knitting today. Deadlines and waistlines be damned.

  • And here's a review of stitch markers:

    Want something more articulate? The ones on the left can hang off stitches or be put on the needle. They're flexible. They rock. The ones on the right break. You can hang them off stitches, but they'll turn around and maybe fall out depending on the thickness of your yarn. Or they'll magically get caught on both your stitches and your needle making a huge mess. They seem to have no particular advantage over paper clips.
