Twisty Times
Drum roll please.................... Twisty Turns is finished!!!! Boy, does it have a story to tell.
Sundays have turned into football day so while my husband and I watch, I knit so there was plenty of time to work. By 8PM I had finished the knitting on TT but the worst part was yet to come- the finishing. I followed the directions and marked my points A-G on the piece. Things to note before I move on: I hate to sew seams. I told my husband "I should not be starting this after 9PM. I never works right." The fireplace had been on for 6 hours with the door closed so the room was getting warm. With all that said here is what happened...
9PM- Starting sewing first set of seams.
9:20PM- Mapped out rest of piece since it wraps on itself. Got frustated when trying it on and it was too small. Getting hot with wool sweater on and having had some vodka on ice.
9:30PM- Round 2 of mapping out piece. Getting hotter. Sweater comes off.....
9:40PM- Sewing of second set of seams while sitting on floor, wearing only bra and sweatpants watching "The Posieden Adventure", hoping that Desperate Housewives is recording upstairs.
10PM- Finished but realize that "decorative ridge" only shows on one set of seams. Rip out one set, cutting wrong piece of yarn. Getting irritated with self. Husband comes in with camera to "surprise" me by taking a picture to save the moment for posterity.
10:15PM- Round 2 of second set of seams. Finish and try on over bra. Not a good look but so ready to have it finished. Looking for mirror to see how it looks (like it would wear it over only a bra anyway) Decide to put it down for the night. Block on Tuesday night.
11PM- Tells husband to remind me that next time I want to start seaming something at 9PM to think of this instance.
