To Rip, or Not to Rip?
Here is the first top down raglan I ever made. She is made of 100% cotton yarn bought on Ebay and Smileys Yarns.
See, here's the deal. I'm never going to wear this. It's a little too short, the sleeves are different lengths. I cardiganized it using the crocheted steeks found on blogbogblog (via Rachael) and then I just left it hanging there. I mean, she's cute, but I'm not gonna wear her.
But I don't know if I can bring myself to frog it...it's my first top down sweater, and I was a young knitter then...those were the days. Just kidding.
But seriously, I went home last night, pulled out every scrap and strand of cotton yarn I have, and went to town starting a log cabin square(by the way, that's an example fron Mason Dixon Knitting, not my square!!)
And dude, I'm going to make it a log cabin blanket. It's so fun and easy. I seriously did it for like 4 hours straight, watching "Iron Jawed Angels" on HBO, (stop laughing Cathy) and Sex and the City. So, the point is, I need the 6 balls of cotton yarn that are tied up in that rinky dink sweater for my new fabby blanket. What should I do?
I'll probably frog it. So much for being sentimental. I'm too poor to waste good yarn.
Today I was walking around downtown Athens and a stranger stopped me and said, "hey, weren't you in a play on Saturday? I saw you! You were great!" I felt so happy that he actually stopped and said something that I started gushing..."Thank you! That's so nice! Thanks for coming! Hee! Hee!" I'm sure he thought I was insane. But hey, it was nice of him to stop!
Tonight I'm doing something I haven't done in a while...waiting tables. I picked up a shift at the restaurant I used to work at to help out a friend, and help myself, because I could really use the extra money. Hope I haven't lost my mad waitressing charms. Ha.
Make sure you go visit Bethany tomorrow..it's her birthday!
Also, Sarah made a really cute ribby shell. Check it out!
But before you go, leave me a comment and tell me it's okay to rip out my first top down sweater. Please. I need your support.
