I love this book, why didn&#8217;t anyone tell me about it before? I&#8217;ll have to get the sweater book now. I love the way it has all the sizes and all the gauges so you can use anything to knit with, more or less. As soon as I finish something, I&#8217;ll start something from this book.<br \/>\nAnd yesterday I went to the local craft store for a sewing pattern, and I picked up a pattern leaflet. It was cheap enough ($2!) and I liked the cover cardi, nice and simple, and casual.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"panda1.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/panda1.jpg\" width=\"283\" height=\"336\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe recommended yarn is 50% wool and 50% acrylic, and really cheap, but for a casual around-the-house and toss-in-the-wash cardi, it&#8217;ll do fine.<br \/>\nBut after I got it home, I looked at the other pattern. And I looked at it again. And it&#8217;s drawing me in, I must say.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"panda2.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/panda2.jpg\" width=\"234\" height=\"314\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nI can feel my oath to not buy more yarn wavering. It&#8217;s on special for 20% off until Sunday. It would be a crime <i>not<\/i> to buy it, wouldn&#8217;t it? \ud83d\ude09<br \/>\nThen I got home, and put on a load of washing. After eleven years, and a month of tormenting me, my washing machine finally shit itself. I&#8217;ve been in denial for the past month, ignoring all the warning signs, hoping it would just carry on, but alas, she is dead. Being eleven years old, I doubt it&#8217;s worth fixing, especially seeing as it appears to be both the water pump and the motor. So tomorrow I go forth to waste good money on a housework machine. But better that than hand washing!!<br \/>\nThen, as we were preparing to leave for Em&#8217;s dancing lessons, I realised that I couldn&#8217;t find two costumes I was taking to the studio for kids to try on. They were nowhere to be found. After spending 10 minutes of ripping the house apart, I called DH at work.<br \/>\nIt was garbage night last night.<br \/>\nFor some reason, he picked up the plastic bag containing the two completed costumes from the kitchen table, and took it out for the garbage men to collect this morning.<br \/>\nThey&#8217;re gone. So I now have to go and buy $60 worth of fabric to replace them and start them over.<br \/>\nThe sewing will never end, I fear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, the day started out well!
