Slipper Lessons

Never say, "Ooops." Always say, "Ah, interesting."

Who would have thought that I would learn so much from a little slipper? A few days ago I mentioned how I had learned all about 'ssk' and 'W&T'; since then I learned how to work with 5 double-pointed needles all at the same time with some finger acrobatics, and most recently, I learned a very important lesson about needle size. I guess I wasn't paying attention and I picked up and began working enthusiastically with 5mm needles, rather than 5.5mm needles specified in the directions. Only when I began to put the pieces together did I notice that the slipper might fit the dainty foot of Cinderella, but certainly not mine. I learned that a half a millimeter makes a big difference in some cases. And now I am going to learn a lesson in unravelling rows of work. Oh well, live and learn. ;-)
