I finished the baby blanket, and when I was blocking, it a few stitches came loose somehow. I guess I had dropped a stitch and didn't know it. Anyway, after much panicking and wailing, I used a crochet hook to pull the stitches back up and then tied a knot to hold them. I dunno. I doesn't look bad, but now I'm wondering if I even want to give it to my friend. I've put it away for a while to think about it.
In happier news, I also finished the Estonian lace scarf, which did NOT come apart as I blocked it. I couldn't have handled two disasters in a row. So now I'm back to working on the Clapotis scarf. I should probably get busy on my mittens again, too. Cold weather isn't that far away....

Saw your post on my blog "Don't Knit Angry" and thought I'd visit.
Love your handle - Urban Domestic Goddess. Could it be that we are on a similar path?
Denise: Thanks for stopping by. The Urban Domestic Goddess thing is a bit of a joke/tribute to Rosanne Barr (back when she was funny and insightful, not weird and angry) and her "I am a domestic goddess" routine. It's also my way of asserting that I think it's OK for women (and men) to take care of themselves, their houses, and their families. Having a dirty house and never cooking doesn't make one a feminist, just sloppy and hungry. ;-)
