Dumb dumb dumber

Last Wednesday it was BIM-day.
BIM is a friend of mine and it is her nickname and every Wednesday I drop by because she is recovering from an operation that took a long time to take place (since the summer) and have visited her (almost) every wednesday since summer.
We always have fun and lately I always forget something at her place.
It is not a drama just inconvenient.

Like last wednesday.
In my podcast last week I talked about having way to many WIP's and UFO's, so the plan is to finish every week and this week it should be my Tunesian crochet cardigan.

I brought it with me to BIM to show her the cardigan. (The cardigan just needed to be sewn and I broke all my needles on the sewing machine.)
To make a very long story short I was able to sew at her place and would take it back home to make the button band.
I had with me another project as well, this one so I had other things to do during my stay.
When it was time for me to go home, I packed my things, took the dog with me (she always comes with me) and left.

When I got home I had a wonderful idea: to clip up my cardigan and lock it with my locking machine.
So the whole shabam was on the table and I couldn't find my cardigan!!!
A sms came through with a picture of my cardigan at my friends place.
And that is not all!

The next day on Facebook.
We have a online knitting café and on Thursday we had a theme called weaving in the ends and I had a lot weaving to do on the cardigan so I was so happy about untill I realised (it sometimes takes a while) that my cardigan was at BIM's.
Big bummer.
So I knitted on my tunic instead and adjusted my new adition to the spinning wheel family and spun and watched podcasts as well.

It has not been my week I suppose.

What to do?

It has been a wonderful Easter and I was home alone with my eldest daughter and I should just count the buttonholes I knitted on my Tant Kofta's Kofta when I discovered a mistake and I cannot live with mistakes.

Second Easter day I had a wonderful knitting meeting at Ateljé Norrgården/Ostbiten and decided to take out just the stripe were the mistake was but that was more complicated then I thought (it took the whole afternoon and a part of the evening) so I ripped out the whole cardigan and have now began again from the beginning. I lot of people were chocked by me doing it but I would not been satisfied if I left it that way. 

So today I have begun again.

My daughter and I went to the yarn store today and bought some yarn for her shrug for her ball dress.

This is the one I am going to knit.

I am not knitting it with the recommended mohair yarn but with Drops Lace (alpaca with silk) and it is very nice to knit in and I have to say fairly easy knitting and not a job to be done in front of the TV.

My third project to start up is to spin 100 grams of black angora for Rebecka who won a lottery at the online knittingcafé.
So I have a busy week ahead of me and I have ordered a mini washer to wash my wool in. They are expected to have them in at the end of April and was kind of a bummer because my husband is in the Netherlands and it would be perfect for him to pick it up. Unfortunately not meant to be!

Bye for now!
