Oh NO!!!

Dear Diary,

As I was getting ready to do a little knitting after a pile of homework tonight, I noticed that some pixies must have gotten into my stuff!  When I opened my knitting kit, I found that all of my needles, crochet hooks, tapestry needles, and, well, everything was strewn about and in horrible disarray.  I’m missing a few things, too!!!  Those darn pixies.  I guess tomorrow I’ll have to try to finish resorting it all.

Once I finally did get to a little bit of knitting, I found that I needed to “unknit” a few rows due to forgetting a couple of decreases in my first decrease row.  Unfortunately, I’m not a master of that yet and I seem to have flubbed it rather grandly.  I’ll have to see if someone can help me fix my error tomorrow morning between classes – there’s a lady that sells yarn in Hogsmeade and perhaps I’ll have time at lunch to run and see her if I hurry!  When I discovered the huge mistake, I immediately put the point-protecting spell on my needles to keep them from making any of the damage worse.  I’m a little perturbed, Diary, because I was looking forward to making progress tonight!  I’m so very nearly done, and I don’t want to have to frog my whole project…

I’ve been up entirely too late for too many nights, so I’m going to try to get some sleep.  I have a little homework I need to try to do tomorrow, so with luck I’ll be able to find the yarn lady and get my issue fixed quickly so I’ll have some time to work on that assignment before class so I can be armed with questions.   How frustrating!  I guess I’ll have to look at some pattern books to help me calm down before bed.
