Now It's Serious
Tabby Brown (sorry I don't have a blog link here, but blogger didn't give me one) has double-dog dared me to get down to 10 WIPS. Anyone who has grown up on American playgrounds in the last 50 years knows the seriousness of this. A dare one can walk away from...maybe even a double-dare, but the double- dog -dare is as close as kids can get to a binding legal contract. It calls into question your bravery, your strength....even your very "kid-dom." So being the mature adult that I am, this is a binding contract. Down to 10 WIPs it is! Wish I had known that before I caved last night and...... cast on a new baby sweater. I was staying strong and resisting, but my fingering yarn is in a clear rubbermade container, and it was just staring at me needing to be used, and in a moment of weakness...I caved. So I have 18 WIPS instead of 17, but at least it's better than 28 or whatever I had last year. AND last year I managed 14 in a row, which would take me down to SI...
