Or at least, the people on Ravelry do. I posted a plea for help with the Hallowig on the Think Pink group’s message board, and also sent a message to PassionKNITly, who posted that she’d recently cast on for the same project. I got nearly the same, helpful response from both very quickly, and was then able to frog the five rows that I’d done with decreases in order to cast on 32 more stitches with the backward loop cast on for the bangs, then join (being careful not to twist). Now the diagrams and instructions make sense! If I could only find the little bag with all my stitch markers in it…but I do have the three from my No Sheep For You! Secret Pal Swap, the only swap she sent me (there were supposed to be two). Oh well, I don’t think it’ll put me off doing swaps, even though my downstream swap partner never sent me any acknowledgment that she’d received either of my packages, I had to email her several times to make sure she’d gotten them (she’s in Alaska). Whatever.
I made an appointment with Bill Murdock from Collins Brothers Moving after many problems contacting anyone there. He’s going to come look at the storage units at UHaul to give me an estimate for moving the contents to the house (I KNOW, FINALLY). It’s going to save us over five hundred dollars a month, money better spent on therapy, yarn, Shun knives, anything but storing all the inventory from long-defunct shop. With it all at the house, G will be able to photograph it and I’ll be able to eBay it. I apologized in advance when I told him that most of it would be going into the attic. On the third floor. And what wouldn’t make it into the attic would go into the basement. I have no freaking idea where I’m going to put the flat files. But I Will. Not. Get. Rid of them. Might help to empty them out before moving them. They’re really freaking heavy even empty. And what to do with my beautiful front counter? I’m going to call United House Wrecking and see if they’ll buy it back from me. I no longer feel that I need to keep it, but it was très cher, and I’m not dumping it. Then there’s still the storage compartment at Westy’s to think about. I have no idea where the key is though. Might pose a small problem. I’m sure they’ve got a fix for that. I’m sure I’m not the first one.
