I had grand plans for this weekend - finish the sleeves of the sweater so I could have them joined to the body, maybe get some gift mittens done, make some stitch markers, clean up my craft room. you know, nothing much.

so I popped in a few DVDs to watch while knitting. both Saturday & Sunday. and what did I manage to accomplish this weekend? I made a pumpkin bread/cake thing from a mix and I got the cuffs of both sleeves done. that’s it.

now granted, I had issues interpreting the pattern at some point (cast on 30 sts, do a few YOs where the chart says and I’m up to 36. and yet, by the end of the chart there should be 42 sts. the only thing I can figure is that something got lost in the photocopying or the pattern is worded odd and I just couldn’t make sense of it. ah, there’s corrections -PDF-. go me, I did it the way they say to without having seen it first.) . so I had to go ahead and start the second cuff earlier than I wanted so I could make sure to duplicate my mods in the right place and all. but I really would have thought I’d have accomplished more knitting than that. I’m blaming my movie selections (I tried to watch some newer ones. they distracted me too much. back to the movies I can watch without looking, I guess.)
