To Rip Or Not To Rip


I can't decide. I just don't know about this yarn for this pattern. It is hard to see the lace pattern, which is a little sad. I think I really need a solid color sock yarn. Plus, this sock has been sitting for so long because it is attached to a giant knot of yarn and I made Mom promise she would untangle it because her skanky dog messed up the yarn. But she hasn't done it yet. So, I think this sock is going into official hibernation until I figure out what I want to do.

In the meantime, I made a Calorimetry and had to adjust the pattern a little because the yarn I used was bulkier than what the pattern called for and I read on Ravelry that the finished headband was too big for people. By the way, this yarn was wonderful. It was just another case of the wrong yarn for the right pattern. The yarn is cashmere and wool and it is hand-painted. It was so nice to work with. But anyway, the pattern says to cast on 120 stitches, but I did 80. So when I finished it, it took literally one day, I tried it on and it was about 4 stitches too small. Then I frogged it, bought some new black yarn and finished the new one. I am just trying to find the button I was going to use before I take a picture of it.

Also, what is with all the tornadoes lately? I guess there were more last night, or this morning technically, the sirens went off at about 6:30. Just a couple weeks ago there was a really bad one around here. Craziness. Is it all just part of global warming, or just a streak of really bad weather, or is it this guy's fault:

I think Matt Foley and El Nino live together in a van down by the river.

As "vanmates" or lovers?

I will go with vanmates, my brain cannot handle the thought of them as lovers.
