I can’t. I thought it was gone. Gone, gone. I found it last night as I was digging around the bottom of this

looking for a tape measure. Because my back is hurt and I’m trying to rest, I forced myself to pick up Clark’s sweater again, determined to knit that stupid sleevecap. I’d been working out of the bag all day, but when I couldn’t find a tape measure last night, I pulled out all the yarn and sweater parts and there was my ring!

I had the knitting bag with me on election night at my in-laws, though I don’t remember taking my ring off. But I must have, because the next morning is when I noticed it was gone. I guess I was extremely distracted at that moment, and knew my knitting bag was a safe place.

So, I’m very, very happy today. Despite being in a lot of pain.

I finished the first sleeve last night

My goal for the day is to knit the second.

Tonight we’re putting up Christmas decorations in the foyer of a retirement home. I’m so excited for the Christmas season.

I’m also excited because I’m planning to hold my breath, close my eyes, and dye a big vat of batt stuffs. Maybe I’ll actually have something to sell in the next month or so?

It could happen.
