Beating the yarn into submission

This little zippered tote is a beautiful thing. I got it from Avon. I don't recall even what was in it. See it zips up closed and everything should stay nice and neat!


And even when you peak into the cute little zippered tote (better than a zip-lock bag) thing, everything appears to be just as you left it four hours before!



Yarn, knitted thing, stitch markers, beads, needle . . . but NO, while you were diligently working and ignoring the pleas of the MS3, some little elves, messed with it. I think it was the yarn. There should have been 21 stitches on the needles . . . its simple . . . ten on each side and the one smack dab up the middle. But, no, there are ten on the left side and NINE on the right.

So, I'm going to beat it into submission. And just to show it who is boss, I'm going down to our office cocktail party (seriously, how silly is that) and not take it home! HAH! Stupid yarn.
