I suppose that it is less of a trip if you actually live in NYC, but it was an excursion nonetheless.

I had one stitch too many AGAIN. Sweetie has told me to lay off the needles for a bit (rest of the evening) and tackle something a bit more manageable tomorrow.

Well, I found my mistake in my Aran sweater. I am supposed to have 172 stitches, and I have 173; that ONE little stitch (spelled with a capitol B right now) is making my life difficult.

My My, how the time flies.
