So I had this idea. Just a whim. A little bit of color work. Hey, I could even use some stash yarn. Sit down and start drawing some designs. Ooh, this could work. Move to the computer and make a final chart. Alriiight, everything lines up and works out. Crunch some numbers. Hmmm, stash yarn isn't going to be suitable after all. Must make this. Damn, will have to order some. Well this other yarn I have lying around is close in gauge. Wouldn't hurt to test it out. Yeah, I'll just work a little in this. Nevermind that it's left over Christmas colors. Must. see. pattern. emerge. Screw tension. Can not wait until real yarn gets here. There, test run finished. And looky there, it makes a bizarre, albeit perfectly fitting, soda can cozy. See? time not wasted. Oh good, yarn is here! Suppose to be scrubbing bath tub. Have guest coming. Ok, I'll just start a tiny row gauge swatch. What?
