I will begin with some knitting content. I knit both sleeves of the peppermint candy 2x2x3x1 ribbie<\/a>, but I think they’re both going to the frog pond. I already frogged one sleeve once because for some reason all my M1 stitches created these single, large, loopy stitches. You can see them on the right sleeve there (the one that has yet to be frogged), but don’t look too carefully, because I am DISTRESSED and EMBARRASSED by my lame M1s (yes, so why did I point them out to all of you, because now you will focus on them. It’s like when you have a pimple, but nobody else notices, but YOU know it’s there, so you mention it, and then everyone cannot help but stare fixedly at the pimple). Okay, photo break:

\nThe patterning is kind of scary, huh. Anyway, I changed the numbers of the pattern a bit because my gauge is off, but it’s hard to tell what one is supposed to do because of the ribbiness of it. I know the sweater is supposed to be close fitting, but the sleeves have to be pulled on, and they sit right up against my arms. Shouldn’t there be at least 1\/8″ or so of breathing space between my arm and the sweater? It’s driving me crazy, so I have decided to knit a third sleeve and just follow the pattern. That way I can see if I want the looser sleeve or the tighter sleeve. Is anyone still reading?
\nAnd, voila, another nested photo!

\nYes, those are Frango dreamsicles courtesy of the one-and-only Carolyn<\/a>! They are quite delicious and remind me of those orange sherbet and vanilla ice cream cups. I have always loved those. And creamsicles. And orange cream soda. Sigh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
