This is where my story about the vintage shawl I am making for my mother for mother's day (yes mother's day 2008) turns into a saga. I have been knitting on it and I would swear to you I was at 57 inches. I had carefully measured the dratted thing and was sure that was my total. My once beloved Cuz helped me to measure my progress again Thursday night. I am sure the woman was playing a very bad joke on me because she said it was only 53 inches long. WHAT? I said and made her measure it again. Sheepishly she said again it was 53 inches. I looked at the tape and there it was the lesser number laughing fiendishly at me. I am sure that this has become my personal Odyssey into knitting hell. I am also sure that my once beloved Cuz is sneaking over at night and tinking out all my work. Evil Cuz. I am truly in the world of negative knitting. I am so annoyed, annoyed at my tape measure most of all for lying to me. I know I had 57 inches and don't tell me what are 4 inches among friends! So back to the knitting and knitting and knitting and knitting...

I think the Yarn Harlot calls this the Burmuda Triangle of knitting. Soon you'll look down to find that mysteriously you have knitted 12 inches too much on the last 10 minutes.
