Randomly Random

Yes, that is the only way to describe my blogging (ir)regularity nowadays.

But here I am... I'm baaaaaaaack!

I got the urge to knit, so I figured I should honor that with a blog post, since it, too, is randomly random nowadays.

So I went searching for my work in progress, and I found it. But my randomly random memory was mistaken. No, I am not in fact almost finished. 

I remember now what happened. I was about 75% finished this sweater, but last fall while in Rhinebeck I was feeling very uneasy about the gauge. It was much too loose, I didn't like the fabric I was creating, and the sweater was turning out much too big and sloppy-looking. 

So I ripped it out, the whole 75% of it, and started knitting it again at a tighter gauge. So I guess I'm going to do some knitting tonight, but I am nowhere close to where I thought I was (I thought I was maybe ready to seam and start finishing - HA!). 

This photo I snapped of Mr. Jefferies this morning seems somehow appropriate:

Posting twice in less than 24 hours? I like it! Sorry you had blocked (!) out the frogging part of the sweater. But good for you attacking those WIPs!

Your garden looks like mine did up until this morning. Apparently there was actual soil out there - who knew?

Is that Mr J's favorite shrub?
Good to see your snow disappearing. It gives me hope that mine will, too. (Though I think we cheated the other day with those hellish high winds - a lot of snow simply blew away rather than melting...)

I just frogged my new project, not nearly so far in and started again with a different pattern. You gotta do what you gotta do.
Nice to see ya, Norma. I know, I know Facebook....

Good to hear from you, again, Norma! Sorry about your latest knitting project. Think we've all 'been there done that' in our knitting lifetimes. Mr. J is in fine forming giving it back to winter!!! Aren't we ALL done with it yet?
