Try as I might I just can't catch a break on these stupid pants! What is wrong with me?
Okay, so first I start these "Lil' Devil Pants" thinking, "Oh this will be a fantastic way to use up all this red yarn I have! Great"...... So I start them only to find that not only do I not have enough yarn, they are probably twice the size the pants are supposed to be! 18 month size? I don't think so, these bastards are gonna fit M-Bomb until she's 5 at least!! So good news, I actually find more yarn, and then more bad news .... I'M OUT OF FUCKING YARN AGAIN!
True to form I did not check my guage, but really, in real life who the hell bothers with that? AND it doesn't help that the pattern itself does not give you a regular yarn description.... it gives me this:
"Sandnes Lanett Superwash (100% Merino wool; 50g (4 Skeins) #4128 Cherry Red.)
Yeah, thanks alot Stitch 'N Bitch.... that's fucking helpful.... do you think that they sell whatever the fuck that is, at Walmart? NO. Am I going to waste my time googling yarn? NO. Instead I'm gonna waste my time (and yours apparently) bitching about how the book is wrong and should put in some real fucking yarn sizes like you know a thickness number (like a 3) or a real description like chunky or worsted, something people like me understand.... I knit, for fun and when your patterns are (cool but) crappy it really makes me hate the whole institution of knitting snobbery.
Stitch, maybe, Bitch, deffinately, what an appropriate title for all your fucked up patterns Debbie Stoller!!!!
