I had my alarm set for 6am this morning because I needed to go and have blood work done. Nothing serious. My iron is low so we're watching it. The doctor wanted to check a few other things so I needed to fast. I wanted to be a the lab at 7am when they opened. I didn't make it until 7:15 and sat for over an hour. Thankfully I packed knitting.
Today's Public Service Announcement - do not knit while you are tired. I was working away on the Perfect Blend MKAL after dinner and messed something up on a section of garter stitch. Oh my goodness. Garter stitch. My stitch count is off. I have no clue what I did. I don't know when the last time I counted my stitches because the last section worked out perfectly. 😢😢I put it back in my bag and will look at it tomorrow. Surprisingly I didn't say any bad words. I think it's bed time.
