I used to think I was a slow knitter. Then, someone I know (Lana), who has been knitting longer and knows more knitters than I, told me I'm not. Apparently, I'm pretty fast, just not fast enough to do everything I want, when I want, and have it done immediately.

This is on my mind now because I'm still slogging along on the same old stuff while I have 25 things I want to start RIGHT NOW. The problem is that, although I knit fast, I finish slooooow. And I don't mind seaming. I just hate WEAVING IN ENDS. It drives me insane. It makes me want to poke myself in the eye with a tapestry needle. I HATE IT HATE IT HATE IT.

Really. I just hate it.

Apparently, all my fancy calculations and doodles for the Homespun pullover sleeves were a waste of time. They came up short. I have added length and am ready to start the cap of the first one, but, just to be sure, I ran a line of waste yarn along the last row. If I have to rip back the Homespun I don't want to have any trouble finding the right row and I don't want to lose any stitches.

I found a green tam in my closet a couple of hours ago. I made this tam from the Grand Plan Tam Chart when it came out in IW last year, and then I didn't like it. I think it was just a lot different shape than my favorite black beret which I made up as I went along. The green one is more bubble-like than the black, which is kind of plate-like. When I tried the green hat on just now, though, I found I like it a lot. I believe I will put it into circulation.

What sort of terrible things happen to you if you frog eyelash yarn, do you suppose?
