I give up.
I stayed up late last night to work on that sweater, since tomorrow is the last day of school so it really has to be done by then. Opted to split the difference with a lavender stripe.
Unfortunately, I screwed up the sleeve before ever starting that part. See how the diagonal line runs directly to the right armpit on one side? That’s what it’s supposed to look like. On the left, however, the line runs into the body of the sweater. That’s because I didn’t reserve enough stitches for the arm. That sleeve is smaller than the other. The only way this’ll work is if the kid has a tiny arm.
I’ve made this type of sweater several times before without having all these problems. Clearly I just shouldn’t knit when I’m tired. Although, as my husband said, “Then you’d never knit.”
I could do just a hat and some booties, but if I screw that up then there’s no hope of getting anything by deadline. So I give up. I found their baby registry online, I’ll just get something off of that. It’s usual for me to get a token of appreciation for her dream team of experts too, but I think we’ll just go with gift cards this year. I clearly need to save my energy.
Awwww Heather, I’m so sorry this happened. I bet a nice cup of hot chocolate with marshmallows and some Milano cookies and a few hours of intense gaming time will perk you right up!!
Or maybe a nap?
HUGS HUGS HUGS….you’re still a great lady!!

I also opted for candles and gift cards to show my appreciation to Michelle’s teachers and bus drivers this year. They do such a wonderful job of accomodating her special needs, but with all the crazy I just didn’t have the time or energy to search out the something special or meaningful. Hopefully they enjoyed the candles and gift cards!
