new word of the day
OCDastination, pronounced oc-das-ti-na-tion, is when you never get around to starting a project because your OCD flares up and you spend so long trying to decide which yarn, which needles, what stitch, what color, what size, what pattern, and so on and so forth, that you get disgusted with it before you ever cast on or chain the first stitch. this is also why i have a dishcloth 3/4 of the way done, i realized just now that i purled when i should have knit and i have a ridge across the damn thing and i don't want to frog back to the mistake but i don't care to finish it with a mistake. no wonder i have never and most likely never will knit anything more convoluted than a cabled dishcloth. . .

Funny this is all the dishcloths I own have mistakes in them...I usually make them for gifts but the ones that either don't quite turn out the way they were supposed to or when I purled instead of knitted end up in my own kitchen drawer. Use it and I swear in a year when it's faded and full of holes you won't notice the mistakes! :)
Oh I forgot to mention in my last comment; I love your blog title!! "in which i bitch" I wish I would have thought of that! LOL...good one :)
