The Curse

No this is not a post about getting my period.
That's definitely TMI.
But sometime I may fill you in on my idea to bring back the menstrual hut.
Seriously, a week of being considered "unclean" and not having to work but staying somewhere else? I'm all over that.
That's a topic for another time though.
Until then you'll have to hear about my most recent curse -- my knitting.
Have you ever had times when nothing goes right?
For example, I'm knitting a perfectly lovely (at least I think so) Chevron scarf.
Could I possibly knit without screwing up?
Not me.
And I cast on for a scarf meant to be a Christmas gift.
I was very proud of myself - here it is July and I'm already working on Christmas gifts. I joined this too, so that may be part of the impetus:


Is there anyway I could not screw up a scarf which only has eight stitches?
This fool here has nine.
Who does that? Honestly.

Have you read the Red Tent yet??????????????? I'm with you on the push for the menstrual tent. What a fabulous thing... how did we manage to lose that?

Okay, and are we still on our swap idea? I have started to get a few things....
