Do not drink....

when you are knitting a complicated cable pattern for socks. I really screwed it up Saturday evening while drinking a Mike's Hard Limeade and just had to leave it. I went to bed hopeful for a new day and a clear mind. Well, it was a new day, all right, but a clear mind was barely there. I finally sat down to knit and fixed my mistake. I took off and knit 2 rounds with lots of cables and messed up again. I apparently dropped a stitch. Tonight I tinked back 2 rows....not an easy task with all those cables. I got the stitch picked up and that needle was fine again. But somewhere along the line I'm missing a stitch on the other needle. I love the pattern, My Vampire Boyfriend, and the yarn is a gorgeous kettle-dyed deep red. But the yarn is extremely splitty. I don't the pattern and the yarn are meant to be together. I will have to think on this awhile.

I felt great today. I wasn't tired and I had almost no pain. What's the reason? That's an interesting question.
