If I could read I'd be dangerous..

Or, how to waste three perfectly good hours of knitting.

Friday morning I took my car in for an oil change and it's 100,000 mile service. I brought my UFOlympics project - a kimono style cardigan knit as one piece. I started on it last fall and then set it aside for christmas knitting. I knit and knit and knit. A great way to pass time at a car dealership. After about two hours, I realized that my sleeve looked kinda funny. At this point I decide to take a look at the pattern. I had done EIGHT too many repeats!!! That translated to 48 rows to be ripped back. I couldn't bear to frog it in public - I had just finished showing it to somebody who was so impressed with my skill. After I got home I spent about an hour ripping out those extra rows so that I could bind off and proceed with the front of the sweater.
