REWARD: Lost Knitting Mojo

marilyn_cardigan
I don't know what is happening to me. I have lost my knitting ability. Check out the rib to the above sweater. It is called X's and O's. Now check out the ribbing on MY sweater that I have blindly been working on (ok, I haven't been home and I haven't worked on it very much but still).

I am working on Rowan "Broadway" at work. I have ripped it out about 12 times. I am scared. Sure I have no problems helping others but when I go to knit on my own things something is wrong. I would go to church and pray for my Mojo back, but I am Jewish. You can't pray for Mojo (I don't think....well, I only know the blessing over the wine and bread anyhow).

So, if anyone finds it can you please let me know. Otherwise I may be taking up macrame.

Um, what's wrong with wearing Birks with socks?

To get your mojo back you need to sacrifice a chicken, more specifically some chicken nuggets. With BBQ sauce - that's very important. And wear your Raw Chicken Viking Hat while doing it. Guaranteed to work. =)

Nothin wrong with Birks and socks but then he can't tell me that the shoes *I* want are ugly

I would say you are spending too much time blogging and not enough time focusing on your knitting but I am selfish and I would rather have you blogging for my enjoyment then knitting, cuz I don't get anything out of that. My feet are cold. Maybe that is where your MoJo went.

OK how's this for weird - I saw a woman at my LYS last night wearing a pair of those sandal-ish looking things! I don't think they're ugly, just unusual. And a lot of people say that about Birks. I say screw 'em. =)

HAHA! Thank you TR! You are my new best friend. Others (I won't mention names, Lori, Sarah, and Molly oh and Andrienne) gave me a stitch and bitch night of teasing because I wanted these shoes
