GOOOOOAAAAAALLLLLLL
Well my beloved Argentina lost today to Germany. I hate the penalty kicks, but then I don’t like shootouts in hockey either. Seems kinda silly to play that hard for that long and decide the game on a single player. What’s the point of having a whole team…why not just kick balls at the poor goalie for 90 minutes.
OK, I’m done my rant.
I’m also done my Knitting World Cup sweater!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
| From Knit |
After getting red carded and re-knitting the front piece three times, I wasn’t sure if I’d finish on time, let alone a week early! It’s just as well because I’m heading out for the Canada Day long weekend and didn’t want this hanging over me.
So, what did I learn while doing this sweater?
1) don’t try to knit and watch gorgeous men at the same time
2) I don’t really suit timed knitting events – I have too short an attention span. So many other projects beckoned me that I was tempted to throw in the towel (and the sweater) more than once
3) I don’t like the Mary Maxim Starlette yarn. I thought I would because it’s very soft. The fact that I got it for 50% off didn’t hurt either. But I don’t think this sweater will have a long shelf life – it’s prone to piling because the yarn didn’t have a tight enough twist.
