Alpaca Ruined my life

I'm on attempt number two for Broad street mitts and I'm trying to frog several rows by myself without my friend Gillian's help. She's like my knitting guru whenever I've messed up. I didn't really mess up though I'm just trying to work with these modifications that someone posted on their project page cause I don't really have big hands. But alas it's 20 minutes to midnight and must put my knitting down cause I am getting tired. Oh... What to work on at work tomorrow? New pair of mittens that I promised to make someone oh last winter? Or finish the right front of the baby sweater that I'm making? I am having that sweater fear again. It doesn't "look perfect". I think I somehow screwed up the right front and I just want to throw it away but I must finish it! Even if it's not perfect. I just hate knitting with Bernat. I really don't know why! It's actually all alpaca's fault. 2 years ago I think I fell in love with baby alpaca yarns and knitted my first pair of mittens with them, loved the softness, the texture.... I have having a yarn orgasm (I think they exist! I'm not crazy)... Then I touched the softee chunky by Bernat and hated it. I hated everything about it. I never thought I could hate yarn and I shouldn't hate yarn really I shouldn't, but... oh Alpaca you ruined my life but I love ya so much....

I apologize for my crazy entry... It just had to be sad

Good night and happy knitting.

Ps. Did I mention that I"m going to my first ever knitting event? I'll be venturing off to the Kitchener's knitting fair this weekend with some lovely ladies that I don't know so well that go to the Naked Sheep :) I cannot wait and hopefully I won't be too shy to take photos of this event. Tomorrow I also plan to once again and a pro account with flickr so I can flickr crazy again :)
