Going through a phase

Noro Blankie and I had a falling out this weekend.  Maybe she was in a snit because it had been a while since we hung out, but that wasn't my fault.  She's too hot for warm summer weather.  Well, like whatever....

At first I thought she was glad to see me.  I started working on her seams and we enjoyed some fun time together.  We played some tunes and discussed our new favourite band.  Everything was going along smoothly, and then wham!  She threw a hissy fit at me.  As I approached the end of the seam one of her panels was a whole repeat short.  And as if this wasn't bad enough, it was on the cast on side. The witch. I mean, if it had been the cast off side I could just undo it and add more length. 

But she was all like "Well, it's not as if it were my fault.  You knit me."  Like I didn't know that.  She didn't need to use that snotty tone of voice.

So like, what could I do?  I wasn't going to let her diss me like that.  I dumped her in a closet and walked out on her.  Yeah, maybe I was a bit sulky.  I'll admit, I started wanting to hang out with other projects.  There's this friendly cardigan see...   I even spend an evening chatting with a merino/alpaca scarf. But these new friendships just weren't as satisfying.  All the time that Noro blankie and I have spent together means a lot to me.  We just need to get over this hump. 

So we've made up.  She very nicely agreed not to hold the closet time against me and I agreed to just pick up some stitches instead of ripping out all my sewing.  In the end, our friendship is going to look a bit patchy,  but at least we're still speaking to one another. Which is great, because we still have a long way to go together...
