Knit picking

Let me just tell you how crazy last night was. To put the long story short: I left my laptop in a cab the other night, another passenger got it but asked for ransom, I refused and called the police for a sting operation. It was successful but the whole event seemed too complicated to leave me unscathed: my energy was zapped.

This was what I was wearing yesterday morning, all peaceful and serene, before the whole thing transpired.

Finally, I have been able to wear my largest safety pin as a brooch. Come to think of it, the size, bulk, and fit of this knit cardigan almost make it look like a jacket.

Here is the pattern up close. Initially, I have been wary of using the gigantic safety pin because of the holes it would leave in clothes — a problem big knits do not have.
