Not much knitting going on lately. We have all been sick. Why is it that mom's always get it last? I would much rather get sick first, that way I have the energy to take care of two active Bubba's. When you get sick last you feel like poo and you have the kids on the mend w/ even more energy than normal b/c they have been sick. Grrr.
I am equally frustrated on the knitting front. I am working on a pair of over the elbow fingerless gloves, and I think the pattern is cursed. EVEN though I have swatched it (twice). Even though I have customized it to the gift receiver's measurements (and checked the math 3 X). It just doesn't seem to be turning out. I am about half way done (the second time) and if this one doesn't turn out, I think I will have to give up. Which really saddens me b/c the receiver's B-Day is next Tuesday and I really don't want to be empty handed.
So this dilemma brings me to a question. Other than weight and gauge.....what other considerations should me made when substituting yarns?
