Does Grandma like you?

I ran into this today and it scared me.  I’m not entirely sure where it came from as I was Stumbling at the time.  The file was called "Grandma made me something special".  "Special" must mean different things to different people.

If you click on it you’ll see it full-size.  Make sure there are no children around when you do it, as severe mental trauma may occur.  I do believe there was a horror movie based on the upper left picture, and Darth Maul was based on the picture in the lower right.

So, Grandma’s knitting can be used for good or evil.  Or, multi-million dollar movies.

(Honestly, I’m just avoiding the knitting machine . . .)

That darn machine

I’m making progress.  And, there have been fewer &%*!# today.  After four tries I got the back of the sweater "right".  Then I did the front of the sweater and I have no idea if it’s right.  I just completed one sleeve (after rewriting the pattern so I could keep track of the rows), just to discover that the machine might have knit one row twice.  I don’t know how to explain it, but the row is thicker, like the same stitches were knit into twice.  Of course, it was at the beginning of the sleeve so I need to take the whole thing out.

I’m considering just leaving it.

Hummmm.

Opinions?
