The Ides of March have it out for me....

This Monday, I invite you to bask in the humor of the knitting/cat/weather ordeals that are plauging Casa de' WN:

1 - My Jaywalker socks are MIA. Literally. I have no idea where I left the WIP. This may actually cause me to cry if I can't find them. KPixie is out of the colorway, and my beloved dpns were also involved.
2 - After a productive weekend of finishing, bathing, blocking, and seaming all the pieces of the Vouge Cardi, I find that the legnth is about 3 inches too short for my taste. There was an emergency pick-up of stitches around the bottom at 10pm last night, which may or may not have been a good idea at the time (the wine might have been speaking louder than I thought....) and an experimental venture into some additional ribbing is currently underway.
3 - Ran out of yarn on a little something that has a deadline. Craptastic.
4 - I can't knit while I'm on the phone today because I am wearing gloves to combat the fact that it is 42 degrees in my office. Just my office. What the F, man.
5- Last night Viva scratched mauled my arm from elbow to wrist in the middle of what appeared to be a spastic bad dream on the couch. Having my forearm wrapped completely in yellow gauze is probably drawing some strange looks right now.

But, let us forget all that and admire how beautiful this is:

Photos from the cabin, 2 weeks ago. So purty. I'd write more, but I can't type in these darn gloves!!!!

Edited to add: I only have 10 days left of my 'early twenties'....

Edited yet AGAIN because I had to point out that I really, really adore this getup, noted by the Fugly girls. [Note to self: Must get some cowboy boots soon]

Beware!!! The Ides of March!!!!
Hmmm...sounds like they do have it in for you. I would suggest fingerless gloves, but in your office climate, you run the risk of your fingertips turning black and falling off. At least you'll be able to type!

Wonky weather in Victoria--we're talking snow and lightening & thunder in the same day--and much Jaywalker frustration here too. You might be on to something here...

Wow. Um, have another glass of wine and it will all seem better. :)

P.S.

Your Secret Pal promises her spelling/grammar is not as bad as the previous comment would lead you to believe. It's been a long day.
