… and I think it is this sweater!
Can you spot the problem?
I have knit the front of this sweater 3 times… THREE… it has complicated cables, folks! I knit each sleeve 2 times… they have the same complicated cable pattern! I thought I was on the way to finally finishing it but now this. Maybe I’m being paranoid but I don’t think THE SWEATER wants to be done.
Other things that have happened since I restarted this very old UFO. I have had a stomach virus. I have a vicious head cold. I slipped and fell on the tile floor (and did that ever hurt… I had fallen and I couldn’t get up). BC has been out of school sick since the first day. Now he has a really bad ear infection, and he will probably not go this week. All this has happened since I started working on THE SWEATER again.
Call me paranoid but I think I’m going to rip this one out and give up. It’s for the best.
Maybe you should burn the yarn while you’re at it just to be safe. Hope things get better soon!
Sorry to hear things aren’t going well! Hope everybody feels better soon.
So, problems in paradise, ha? We are all sick hear, also!
You know, I also believe that some thing/stuff have bad energy – so thump up for ripping and giving up!
THREE times? I can’t believe you can knit that much even if you aren’t sick! I would hate for you to give up on it. Maybe have a try at it when everyone is well. I’m sure that having to get up to take care of a sick one makes it easier to make mistakes, although I can’t tell that there’s anything wrong.
I agree with Kirsten. Don’t give it away and pass ‘the devil’ on… just burn the thing.
Then bury the ashes. Deep.
Retreat! Retreat!
Rip out and put a purefication spell on it. Wave a smudge stick over it , something!! Or cast it off into the wild!
Oh my goodness, time to ditch that baby!
Oh gosh, what a stressful time you’ve been going through lately, I hope all this calms down and will be better soon!
As for ripping the sweater – well, yes, I do believe in this jinxing-thing too, obviously there’s some knitted garments that doesn’t want to be made – happened to me as well, whatever I did with these projects, nothing worked. Even though I find it gorgeous, I believe it’s the right decision to just give it a nice bye-bye and rip it – it’ll save you a lot of hassles!
