…and sometimes it knits you.
Exhibit A: The Bird in Hand Mittens [ravelry].
It turns out I am not that much of a Vikings fan. Also, remember this foppish fellow from inauguration day?
Yeah. This project will be frogged in favor of a better less garish different color combination.
Exhibit B: The Sweater of Rassilon [ravelry]:
I finished the ribbing and knit about 5 rounds (over 200 sts) of stockinette stitch before I remembered that I was supposed to increase evenly up to 220 stitches on the first round of stockinette stitch. *sigh*
Knitting Interrupted 
Ouch. I hate it when I forget stuff like that. I really want to try the Bird in Hand mittens, though.
I did notice the 41st president rocking the bright purple. I can’t wait to see your bird-in-hand mittens in a color scheme that pleases you more.
Looking forward to seeing the Sweater of Rassilon progress! It’s such a great looking pattern.
Hee hee! Sorry to laugh at your expense, but your post made me giggle a little. Too bad you didn’t get a pict of his hat too…
I’m a bit behind here, but I just found your blog… Anyway, I can’t do purple & gold simply because those are UW colors and I graduated from WSU. I’m glad to know that you frog simply because a certain ex-leader was sporting it :) Now they will make my eyes burn slightly more.
