It's a good thing these two can make me laugh when I'm about to lose my mind.
Most recent reason:
I'm working on a difficult knitting project that I planned on giving away this Christmas, but I wasn't even half way done with it when that time came around. Sooo, last night I decide to pull it out and work on it. I find my way into the pattern and realize I have three needles, so I throw one back into my knitting bag. I do a couple rows and realize my tension is way off from the last time I worked on it. I keep going. After a few more rows I'm a little shocked at the difference in the gauge. I show Ryan. We laugh about how pregnancy must really affect your knitting tension. I keep going. I'm not at all happy with how it looks, but I keep going trying to make it tighter until my eyes fall out and I go to sleep.
Today at naptime I pull it out again. I'm looking at it trying to figure out how to make it tighter. I look at the pattern again. I see something about size 3 needles. I look at the huge needles in my project. They're size 9. Yes, size 9! It all starts to become clear. Both my size 3 and size 9 needles are green. Apparently I pulled out my project and knit the first row onto a green size 9 needle. That's about when I realized that I had 3 needles, so I kept the two that matched (the 9s) and threw the size 3 into my bag. Funny right? Yeah, maybe if I wasn't doing things like this all the time. It's a small miracle that I finish any knitting projects:)
