I'm knitting away on Marrakech.
Inner Child: I'm bored of this! I want to start on the secret project.
Me: Let me finish this and then I can get going on the project.
IC: Noooo, project NOW!!
Me: Look socks!!
IC: OOOHHH pretty!!
I start kntting faster so IC won't realize I've distracted her. Thirty minutes later:
IC: Hey! We're still working on the icky pink thing...
Me: ??
IC: I want to work on something else.
Pull out Lilith and start knitting. Thirty minutes later:
IC: Black is boring! I want to start the project.
Me: We're almost done with Lilith. See, mohair is pretty.
IC: NOOOO. SICK OF MOHAIR!! WANT PRETTY!!!
Me: Socks!!
IC: NO!! Not socks! I want PRETTY!! PRETTY!! PRETTY!!
Me: How about I go pull the pattern and yarn?
IC: Okay
Find the pattern and yarn I think will work.
Me: See? Pretty!
IC: PUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRR
Look at the pattern.
Fearless Knitter: Hey kewl! You're going to knit this pattern on size 3 needles with sock yarn!! That's AWESOME!!
ME: ??
FK: You know, most knitters would look for yarn to match the pattern, but not you....
I start reading the pattern.
Me: Five stitches to the inch on size 7 needles! That's what the pattern calls for?!
FK: We can do it... This is the part of the conversations where I remind you algebra saves the world.
Me: Don't you mean saves my knitting?
Look over the pattern and yarn again.
FK: Whatever... You'll want to start a swatch-
IC: HEY!! You was going to use that yarn to make my socks!
FK: No, it's going to make a lovely N-
Me: HEY!!
IC: MY sock yarn!!
FK: But...
I think I need a drink.
