Amanda Knits

When I moved to Korea I brought very few knitting books. I brought Duncan's The Complete Book of Progressive Knitting, Lavold's Viking Patterns for Knitting and Martingale's 365 Knitting Stitches a Year Perpetual Calendar. While I've been here, I've received Walker's Fourth Treasury and The Best of Vogue Knitting Magazine: 25 Years of Articles, Techniques, and Expert Advice.

When I decided to knit something new, I wanted something slightly lacy and see-through but not too holey. I chose a pattern from the perpetual calendar. I'm pleased, so far.

Every single time I measure this thing I'm knitting right now, the size changes.

Once, it's 2 inches long. Then it's 3. Then the same piece is 1 and 3/4 inches.

It's as if there's a space warp between my couch, the bus, and the dentist's office. Whoooo ooooh ooooh. There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. Next stop...the knitting zone.

Seriously. It's making me crazy.
