OHHHHHHH! Piffle.
Dang. Drat. Nuts. Rats. If I string enough of these together, will they provide the same satisfaction as one good damn? Blast.
Nope, not working.
I have to knit another swatch. Maybe two. This realization was forced on me when Diane commented on the "after blocking" gauge for Sweet Indulgence. The gauge expands from 4 spi (which I got) to 3.5 spi.
Putting the still hypothetical robe through the washer and dryer will not, I venture to predict, make it bloom.
Sweet angels of mercy. Bless us and save us said Mrs. O'Davis. For Pete's sake.
Maybe if I say them really loud?
One does begin to see the logic behind those ancient Romans and their whole "kill the messenger" thing. I know. I know. No longer socially acceptable. Not to mention the negative effect it can have on one's friendships. Must find constructive outlet. Cleaning out a closet might work; I bet I'd be plenty ruthless today. Also more productive than listing all my knitting needles on eBay.
Or I could just go out and collect more expletives.
