Self-Inflicted Knitting Torture

I was being so good for the Christmas holiday! I packed light and was off! My handsome fella and I did the Christmas Day run-around to see everyone. We say his Dad & crew, his Mom and family, and eventually my parents as well. He went back to spend more time with his family and I then stayed with mine.

The next morning I headed down to LI to do Christmas with the Mom’s-side clan. Sweet, a 4 hour-ish car ride to work on the lovely cabled afghan. And as we were getting everything in the car that’s when it hit me, I didn’t have the notebook with the pattern in it. Nooooooo

Turns out that the combination of weening myself down to one project, having had the notebook with another project I wanted to do some charting for, and hurried Christmas morning packing left me with a bag of knitting and no way to execute it. (There was no way I was going to wing it, not after managing the last fix when I made a mistake!)

So can you believe it is now the 28th of December and I have not knit at all starting the 24th (at least). Gadzooks! Then again, I think we all know what I will spend some time doing today!

(Hint: cabled afghan, maybe the pirate hat, winding yarn and swatching for Citron, and maybe working on the chart for the hat for a buddy of mine)
