Five days ago I got acrylic nails. Lest you think I have no regard for my knitting whatsoever, I must point out that I had them clipped relatively short, explaining to the technician that I needed them short enough to knit with. And in my defence my natural nails were actually interfering with my knitting because they were so shredded that they caught on even the smoothest of yarns. It was purely a practical move, I assure you.<br /><br />So can I knit with these monsters? Yes, I can, by golly! Can I knit fast? Not on your life. It's sort of like having to manipulate ten extra DPNs.<br /><br />I did watch that silly football game last night while working on the new charity baby blanket. The good news is I sort of kind of moderately enjoyed it. The bad news is...my previously non-football-watching significant other discovered that he could get into football. Uh-oh.<br /><br />Am still eagerly awaiting my Knitpicks order so I can start the Wallaby for number one daughter. I have no doubt that the neighbours gather to snicker as they watch me stalk the mailman.Kathrynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04636092577961442243noreply@blogger.com
