ER Knitting?
Mood:  special
Now Playing: Def Leppard "Photograph"

Some people can knit in the ER. I can't. Found that out on Saturday when I had to take my mom over there for dehydration from the flu. I started working on the Basketweave Gansey Cardigan. It took three tries before I had enough yarn to just cast on. Then worked halfway through the first line only to have the middle join on my Denise needles break because I hadn't clipped it right. So rip and cast on again. In the mean time, I'm sitting in a hallway of the ER, with my Mom on a stretcher, waiting for lab results, amid the hustle and bustle (they were extremely busy!). Get through the first line of the pattern and discover I'm short one stitch. Yes, I forgot the first "-" of the chart, so now I'm off one stitch. I decided right then and there that knitting in the ER was a lost cause.

I haven't knit any more since then as I had to spend Sunday emptying my family room and yesterday anywhere else but here as the tile guy had to use an air compressor and a mini jackhammer to get up the horrid brown peel and stick tiles in my family room.

Maybe I'll be able to knit later today?
