Batman! You dropped a stitch!

In a calm and reassuring voice Batman replied, "You are correct. Lady Rose requires surgery. Robin, it is time to pay a visit to Dr. Frog Pond. But have no fear, our dear friend will recover from such a tragic deed in due time."

Stay tuned dear friends.

Re-entry is Rough

An accurate depiction if I ever saw one!

I think I'm in a wee bit of a funk. I took these socks on the cruise with me and I'm so dissatisfied with them that I frogged them. Don't weep for them. They will be beautiful one day -just not today.  I'm to drained to cope with much this week. Perhaps my mind will clear by Saturday and I can pick up my needles with anticipation and delight.

Rip it, Rip it!

Startitis Syndrome

An invisible syndrome that primarily attacks knitters. It is known to cause an intense desire to start a project then within days the knitter becomes dissatisfied, distracted, bored and/or frustrated causing project abandonment and the knitter commences to start another one. It is at this point that the syndrome begins to take root in the knitter. Thus he/she becomes ensnared in a vicious cycle of excitement, frustration, distraction, boredom, dissatisfaction, abandonment and starting yet another project.

Note: It is commonly associated with people who have limited attention spans.

There are only two known cures for the syndrome:

1: Frog the incomplete offending item before starting a new one.

2: By sheer force of will choose to finish it before starting another one.

However, it is a well documented fact that knitters rarely apply either remedy to the situation and learned to live rather uncomfortably with the syndrome.

So it's official I have been diagnosed with the dreaded Startitis Syndrome.

I am choosing the Frog treatment, with the exception of the blue pair. I'm so keeping them. If you look at them very closely you might notice something rather unusual going on.
