So how 'bout them purls?

Ladies and gentlemen: your regular program has been interrupted by this special announcement...

I hate purling.

So, since I haven't had the time to buy that tapestry needle, and since I'm so completely sick of knitting that extra-long scarf (my FIRST unfinished project), I decided to do a bunch of other little projects. One of them included ambitiously tackling a "carrying case" for my needles using a stockinette stitch. Well . . . I want to cry. The amount of time it takes me to purl a row could equal 5 knitting rows. It sickens me. I cry for joy when I get to knit a row and cry in anguish when I know it's time to purl again. Let me get it out there that I'm using 100% acrylic yarn on size 9 aluminum needles. The yarn sounds like nails on a chalkboard when I work with it. Why? Because I have no idea what I'm doing. To make matters worse, I purl the yarn so TIGHTLY that I make it even more time-consuming and difficult for myself.

I really have turned this blog into my own Stitch N' Bitch session. How on earth could someone who does nothing but rant about knitting still love it so much? Yep, that's an addiction for you. I don't care. I love knitting, and I will not stop. I will always bitch (it's in my nature), but I absolutely will not stop knitting! Or purling . . .

Either way, I've been getting a lot of practice in. I made myself a little headband tonight. This, along with my mini bag, will be completed as soon as I get that tapestry needle (ha-ha).

Alright, it's 3:00 a.m. Back to knitting.
