Cloudy Skies

When clouds are hanging overhead, you might think it is going to rain. Not always. Sometimes clouds are the most amazing things.

Lets say you have a project that you are working on. Its a great pattern and you can't wait to see it all knit up. One day, you realize that your gauge is off. That cold hard reality has shattered you. For an instant you stand there and just wish you did not know this. Then, even as the last shattered bit of you is slithering to the floor, you realize that because you are a smart knitter, and you really really like this yarn, you patiently and carefully take out the offending stitches and make it better.

I hit this sort of a hiccup in my general personal plan. There was an instant this morning, where all I could see was clouds gathering, looking dark and a lot like rain. I have to rework my personal yarn a bit, change some increases to decreases and ssk's to k2togtbl's (knit 2 together through the back loops). Even as these clouds hover,

there can be magic in them. All it takes is looking at the clouds with a different perspective.
