What Stpid Thing Have You Done Today?

That's pretty much what I was thinking.

Most of my life in general is unwitting.

I'm trying out a pattern to crochet a doll but after a week's work (maybe 30 minutes at a time in the evening) all I've got is the beginning of what's supposed to be one of the doll's legs. I've had trouble getting the right number of stitches per row and I keep starting over. I have a little notebook where I keep track of the number of rows I've stitched. One night I switched to a different yarn to see if that worked and then picked up the same section again the next evening. I stitched a couple of rows and I seemed to be getting it right, finally. Then I counted my completed rows and compared it to my notes and somehow I had less rows than when I started.

Later when I was going to bed I remembered that when I started the new yarn I also started a new count on the next page of my notebook.

I really should get out of my own way.
