There's a girl that I work with.  She came to our team not too long ago...and before I knew it, she was OOF.  I wondered where she went...and then the mail came out.  It turned out she would be OOF for awhile--maybe even a few months.  I wondered what could keep a person out of work for so long.  With all of my surgeries, I knew it couldn't be anything like any of mine.  The longest that I was out was 6wks.  Transplant?  Cancer?  Sure enough, she had a double mastectomy a couple of weeks ago.  I don't even think she's 30.

Someone on the team asked me if I would knit her a cap...I was way ahead of them.

doh!

Dontcha hate it when you're knitting along...la la la...you're in the groove, but you have a sneaking feeling that something is off?  But you keep going because it feels great to be knitting something kind of mindless...and you then measure the ribbing and sure enough it's 1-1/4" long.  But, DOH!  The repeat is *k1, p2, k1* which really equals K2, P2 in the end...but you realized that you've knit *k1, p2* as the repeat.

DRAT!
