A sad tale of woe...

Ok, well that was a little dramatic.


But, I've been dramatic lately, why change now?


Whoever said "Change is a good thing"....they obviously never moved 10 times in 10 1/2 years.


But that's not what this post is about. Please, keep reading:)



This is a beautiful baby blanket that I've been knitting on and off for like the last 4 months or so.

It's for a baby that is due in November.


I made a "push" last week to get it done. I got about 3/4 of the way done that fateful night.



Until my ball of yarn ran out.



I had more, don't worry. That's not the sad part.



So, like I was saying before I rudely interrupted myself, I got 3/4 of the way done.



Really I only had about 4 more inches left, so maybe I was further than 3/4.



Anyways, I laid it out to examine my beautiful workmanship, and see how much more I had left to do.



Isn't it pretty?!



That's when I saw it.



IT.



It, was a dropped stitch wayyyy back about 1/4 of the way into the blanket.



I sat, jaw dropped, for like 20 mins trying to figure out how I could fix it without ripping it all out.



Sadly I frogged the whole thing.



I was not knitting that whole thing again.



Instead I'm crocheting it, since I am much faster at crocheting.



Here's the pattern from Posy gets Cozy that I chose to do if you want to take a peek.



I'm already about 1/4 of the way done with the main part.



I'll keep you posted on the whole sad, twisted tale.....
