SO

here are the HOLES after i washed it PER their instructions

COLD water - gentle cycle - in a lingerie bag - with a wool wash

IRREPAIRABLE!!

the ONLY time it was on a hanger was to take pic

you CAN see that the top grew about 7" in length

TOTAL time wasted = 1 MONTH

total $$ wasted ~ $56

SWTC is not aware that ANY knitters are having problem
with BAMBOO = 100% Bamboo

from what i have heard ALL Bamboo stretches

so, it's NOT worth the hassel to deal with SWTC about
the incredible STRETCHING top

i will eat the cost of the top
and the time it took to knit it

i will however NOT be buying
4 skeins of Bamboo to make the cami from "One Row Below"
nor will i be buying the PURE & knitting the top i wanted
nor will i be buying a-Maizing to make a vest AND cami
nor will i be buying Phoenix OR Oasis to make a cami

in fact - i won't be buying ANY yarn from SWTC
the Entrelac Cami from TOFUtsies may become a permanent UFO
because i am not happy with the company

gonna give away the rest of their yarns
not wasting my time knitting with them

SWTC yarn

CCCCCCCCCCRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAPPPPP!!

i washed the SWTC Bamboo sweater in a lingerie bag

- now it has holes in it -

there was NOT a knot where it broke

the yarn must have been weak

- my advice - do NOT use this yarn -

the sweater grew like 5 sizes & i was trying to shrink it back so I could wear it

wish i had gotten a pick of it all stretched out

NO MORE SWTC yarn for me

DOMINOS

WTF!!!

i ordered pizza from Dominos

they couldn't deliver for OVER an hour

they STILL charged my card for the pizza

will they reimburse me - give them 10 days

i DON'T THINK SO!!

fixin' mistakes

FIXED it

just a matter of thinkin' BEFORE i try

looks like Janet's cat got ahold of it

but thinkin' it will look better as i get a few more rounds

SUCCESS - took longer to take pix & write about it than to FIX

CRAP - still made a mistake -> did 2 K2tog YO, instead of YO, SSK ARGH!!!!!

now to FIX it - drop back 2 st & convert to K2Tog, YO .

slip the next one - drop next 2 stitches & convert to YO, SSK

tink it back so i can fix it

POOP!! forgot the pattern row

So I like to play

I wasn't ganna start another project
But the yarn kept callin me
Queensland cotsoy

CAMI is done

4 skeins Queensland Bamboo Cotton

# 6 needles

Pattern is MINE

took 10 days to knit it - because i was working & tired

wore it today - was told it was distracting

WHATEVER!!

OOOOPPPPZZZZ!!!!!

So. For the FIRST time, I knit the stitch marker into the knitting ... Guess it' punishment from the KNITTING GODS for goofing off instead of hitting the shower ... Good thing I have plenty of stitch markers ... Will have to use wire cutters to remove the marker

cami

last row of ribbing - third time is a charm

wellllll

let me preface by saying i do NOT watch TV often

i have seen American Idol a total of TWO times

once in Fort Wayne, w/ Lisa - Clay & Rueben were on

the other time i watched Idol was with Daniel

Carrie Underwood & Randy Travis were on

when people complain about having to sit in the back row
i tell them THEY have to entertain ME
it's a joke

anyways - we were going DCA - LGA
Mr Jackson was escorted onto the plane
the only OPEN row was row 20
he sat down & i told him he had to entertain me
he said he could sing & dance
i told him he could ONLY dance if the seat belt sign was OFF
and there was NO dancing in the aisles allowed
he laughed
i went up front & Juana told me it was Randy Jackson
from American Idol

DUH!!!!

did i feel like a dunce

Tinking the cami so I can do the decrease
