Knitting disaster

On advise from my psychiatrist about my lack of motivation to do just about anything, I've been doing 15 minutes of something that needs done when I physically feel up to it. Like the dishes (I have 1/3 done now!) and my knitting. I got another 10 rows done on my paw print cloth the other day. Just went to pick it up and noticed that somehow I'd gotten it backwards! I had to frog it all!!

Then when I got it all back on the needles, I realized I needed to frog another row. Well I said to heck with this! Frogged the whole thing :( I think I'm going to move onto my huge scarf since I'd like to have it done before winter hits and this is just for pretty. And the scarf is knitting only and in the round so hopefully I won't get that backwards *sighs* Plus my boy cat keeps trying to get up on my dresser to get the bag it's in to chew on. Stupid cat! Just when he's feeling better he wants to force himself to get sick again...I think he's secretly bulimic heh.

In other knitting news, I bought a hard pink pencil case at Walmart yesterday for under a buck to hold my instruments of knitting destruction (like my needles, stitch gauge, stitch markers, etc.) So now I have a pink case for my misc. stuff, pink cords and case on my Denise set, pink stripped yarn for 1/2 of the scarf, a pink knitting blog...I think I see a pattern here, don't you? :P

And my wonderful boyfriend has almost finished ripping out the small tree/shrub from in front of my house, where I plan to plant some naturally colored cotton in copper/brown. The flowers look beautiful, and hopefully I can find a spinner that'll show me how it's done and let me use their wheel haha. It won't be much but it'll be mine!
