Pants

I think I am going to have to write this off as a bad week. The job interview really started it off badly (I'm guessing I haven't got that since they haven't called. Just have to wait for the letter.). All week I've been feeling very hormonal. I keep forgetting things, getting confused and feeling miserable, angry and emotional in turn. On Wednesday my friend's baby son was rushed into hospital to have some metal removed from his lungs. It turned out to be a piece of wire. Who knows how it got there? He does have a fondness for putting things into his mouth. It was quite worrying for a while. He's fine now, thank goodness. I think next week will be better. I don't have any job interviews to do which is always good.

Anyway, I think all this has affected my knitting. I've been wanting to knit the Tendrils pattern from Knitty as a present for someone. I wanted to do it without the beads because I didn't think the recipient would be keen on them and after all the pattern says "the stole could be knit without beads for an entirely different look". I had trouble geting started with it due to my mood. I've knitted a few rows now and after um'ing and ah'ing for a couple of days I've decided just to scrap it. I don't like the colour or the look of the pattern knitted this way. I don't really want to spend the next couple of weeks working on something I really don't like.

I'm not sure at the moment whether to frog it and make something else with the yarn or save it in case I feel like it later. Perhaps anything I'd started while I was in a bad mood this week would have been doomed to failure anyway. I'm going to start afresh with my knitting and my mood.
