So yesterday, riding the train home after work, I pulled out the neverending sleeve, which had been sitting absolutely untouched in my bag all day.
I worked one row, and thought to myself, "This suddenly seems rather lengthy, doesn't it?"
I tried it on, and it was an inch too long.
The Knitting Gods are totally fucking with me.

You cannot win. Sleeves are evil. Stick to vests, perhaps?
;-)
They told you so!
Franklin, that monster jumped out at me, from my UFO bag the other night. I was wondering where it came from.
This may sound stupid, but couldn't you just stick your arm through it to check the length?
Elves or mice (as in the Tailor of Gloucester, "no more twist). Did you leave the instructions and a measuring tape? Of course, if it's elves, it could be that they don't like what you're leaving for them to eat, and although honour-bound to work for you, they can still jerk you around.
Oh, dear. I hate to chuckle at something like this, but chuckle I did.
I'm glad this happens to other people besides me.
How did I know this might happen?
Because it's a rite of knitting passage or some such shit.
It gets easier and better. Really.
Nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah.
It happens to all of us.
I am sorry I am not going to get to see you at Rhinebeck wearing it. I was looking forward to maybe meeting you!!!
My 8 year old daughter informs me (I assume reliably) that it is pixies who play tricks like that. In my house they also take things from where you left them and then put them back later just so you can be really frustrated when looking for them.
now, didn't we tell you? didn't we? the knitting gods like to fuck with everyone once in a while, just to keep us humble.
btw, if you're interesting in seeing knitting elves, there's a post on KR about them. even a link to a picture! this was several months ago, but i think it was started by wovenflame. go hunt for it! these elves not only knit, they frog!
Like I said, its a conspiracy. Probably brought about by right wing conservatives.
Yeah, they are. What's your point? That's normal, isn't it?

After your "pun" about "chains of sleevery", don't you think you deserved this?
Remind me to tell you my best pun joke when we meet.
"Something there is that doesn't love a wall,
That wants it down.' I could say 'Elves' to him,
But it's not elves exactly, and I'd rather
He said it for himself."
CI'm still learning from you, as I'm making my way to the top as well. I absolutely liked reading everything that is posted on your website.Keep the stories coming. I enjoyed it!
