I sometimes listen to talk radio. Today I had to turn it off. Five minutes and I said . . enough. Then, as I sat down to knit, I thought – my knitting is kinda like politics today. I worked and worked and then had to rip it back so at the end of the day, it was a lot of bluster and nothing accomplished.
Last night I got the block done on the top left. This morning I added the middle block. When I looked at it, I thought . . hmmm . . it looks like I started picking up stitches about 2 stitches too far to the left but figured I’d work it out when I added the top right block. As you can see, it didn’t work out so I had to rip both those blocks out. I’ve started back working on the middle one. This has been a bit of a learning experience and it should be so easy.
A whole day of knitting and nothing to show for it. Yep, that sounds like many of our politicians, doesn’t it? 🙂
And that, my friends, is about as political as it gets here!

Thanks Judy. I love your blog and I love that there isn’t any politics!

That’s how my Sunday was. I ripped out and recast on a sock for the 3rd time (I’d put it away several years ago after messing up the first 2 times.) Ripped it out and restarted two more times before I finally got it sorted.Now I’m through the ribbing and onto the leg. Hopefully I’ll finish it before too many more years go by!

Ugh, I know what you mean. I had to rip out some stitches in a block for a quilt I’m making, then I went and sewed it wrong again! Now if that isn’t just like politics I don’t know what is. At least with crafts you get some good done 🙂
