Knitting Goddess #9

The comments on the travesty post have been hysterical.

So, to explain a lil, I was knitting on the metro coming home from a late night at work on Thursday. I was on the yellow line on the bridge over the Potomac, when I pulled some stitches onto my right hand needle. (Denise kits are fantastic, but the cord is thick and doesn't always want to slide). Apparently, I pulled too hard, as the needle came off in my hand. I believe I let out an audible gasp/groan of horror, swore a little, and then tried to get all of my stitches back onto the non broken needle.

My first thought was horror that it broke.

My second thought was 'What am I going to do on the rest of the ride home?'

Luckily, I met a friend at the bus stop (who I hadn't seen in AGES!), and we talked the whole way to (my) home.

Right now, I'm about at where I was before the frogging, which is good! I might make deadline after all. Which would be fantastic because clothing selection SUCKS right now. If it's not pastel (mainly pink), it's ugly. If it's not pink or ugly, it doesn't fit me.

Granted, I didn't look very hard because I didn't have a lot of time, but it seems that a cute red dressy shirt isn't out there for under $45 right now. I found a couple of adorable little red dresses that were on sale, but I tried them on and realized that indeed, they were too little. Limited and Express should be limited to tops. How silly of me for daring to dream. I may have lost inches from my waist and dropped a size and a half, but that's not enough.

Stupid fashion.
