In the beginning everything starts out looking so sweet and innocent. You find that perfect pattern or yarn and you fall head over heels in love with it. It makes so many promises, taunting you with it’s beauty and of the many good things to come….
Then things start to feel off. At first it’s just a feeling, maybe it’s the needle you’re using, maybe it’s the light you’re working in. Something just doesn’t feel right but you keep on knitting, ignoring that little nagging voice in the back of your head.
Then comes the time where you’ve finished the knitting, blocked it and try it on….
The sleeves are too long, the button band is crooked and there is weird sagging around the tush area. You scream but it’s too late.
Unless you’re one of those mystical “perfect knitters” I’ve heard about you’ve had a least one knitting horror story. If you’re like me then you’ve had, well a lot more then one!
I think it would be a great idea to collect knitting horror stories from knitters around the globe. So on a dark and gloomy night, a knitting group can read them aloud and scare the socks off their needles.
Let me know if you’ve ever had a knitting horror story!
