If today is Valentine's Day, then it is only reasonable that I declare my love, publicly, for knitting. I can't say that I've bought chocolates or flowers for my yarn, but I'll confess that my heaping stack of textiles lies near and dear to my heart. So many colors! So many hours spent together! So many late night escapades!
This is not to say that things haven't been rough or that everything always works out perfectly. Just last night I had to tear apart a hat I spent hours working on and wanted to chuck the ball of yarn out the window. The brim was so big and loopy it looked like a "Little Raggamuffin Cap." So much for casting-on 110 stitches...I'm giving it another go with 80 sts and doubling up the yarn.
Maybe by tomorrow, my torrid lover (that is, knitting) will be back on my good side.
