Its all true, the boogie girl is real, and you've found her. She knits, sews, spins, does pottery and writes it all down in this blog.

P.A.S.K.
People Against Sleepy KnittersThere should be some sort of group
They should hand out warnings on the dangers.
A pamphlet discussing how much you could hurt your sweater.
An after school special for all those young knitters.
Maybe a seminar in how to put down your project and walk away for the night.
Some of us need help.
I'm not afraid to stand up and admit that I have been a sleepy knitter.
It has caused damage in my life.
I hurt a beloved sweater.
And its not even a sweater yet
Do you want to look at what I did?
This is not for the faint of heart
Now that my histrionics are over, I can tell you what happened. I must have done it the other night when I should have been sleeping instead of knitting. I stopped knitting for a moment and looked at the progress only to notice that about 25 rows down I had knit 10 stitches in a purl row. You can see a couple of the little bumpies off to the left of the ripped area. My lazy side contemplated leaving them there as "character". But it bugged me, I just couldn't do it. The picture is showing me dropping them, only to work them back up. That's what I did yesterday and a couple of rows on top of it. Next thing I need to do is to bind off neck stitches (just to give you an idea of where I am)
Warning: Back to the drama
I had to show you this just to let you see the dangers of knitting while you are tired. Oh, it may seem safe and like you cannot harm anything. But how do you think my poor sweater felt when I had to rip at it and slowly put it back together with a crochet hook. Next time you are thinking of knitting when you truely should rest, stop. Think of my rosedale.
This was a public service message brought to you by the good folks at Amy's house.
