Finished the Pinwheel Sweater!

It's done! Finished! And the baby hates it. She screamed bloody murder when I tried it on her. All that work and it's going to go on a teddy bear in my room till I find a baby that will appreciate all the blood, sweat, and frogging that went into it! [/melodrama] However, melodramatic or not, it's all true!

Oh well.... I think it turned out nice.

Knitting class was quite the fiasco. Down to three people now. One woman bound and determined to learn and is doing well. One who is knitting very well, and one who is "just too stupid to learn this." She left at a dead run in tears. I personally think it's a bid for attention or she was having a "terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day".

She arrived at class with about two inches of very good knitting. Looked even, no obvious flaws... and the kept saying she couldn't do it. "I don't know how to do it." "I can't figure out how to keep going." When I tried to show her how to figure it out for herself, she just wanted me to do it for her. I wouldn't, got mad, and said, "Just do it for me." I said, "When you give a man a fish, he has a meal. When you teach him to fish he'll never go hungry." She accepted the logic of that, but still refused to listen or try to figure it out.

Oh well, again.... What leads me to think it may have been just drama, was that no one else paid much attention to her grand exit.

Had a quiet evening in my room watch TV and knitting a wash cloth. Thought this might go in with the pirate gifts!
