knitting school dropout

i forgot what it was like to have a few days off in a row! nice!
yesterday we went to providence and stuffed ourselves with falafel on thayer street. i'm not sure what is the matter with me, but even though i have been there maybe a hundred times, with zero problems, i managed to miss the exit getting there, and the exit for 146 on the way back. it all worked out in the end and i ended up adding another 8 rows to the cardigan when it was my turn to be passenger.
on the advice of my 82-year old cioci (aunt), i ripped out the bind-off on orangina and added another 1.5 inches. she was so right. i originally shortened the ribbing because i'm only 5'2" and most everything is too long.

but this is much better.
i wish i had better news about river. in all my travel, waiting room, and meeting knitting i managed to lose track and make a major mistake in the pattern and not notice for 3 repeats. it's ok, i can take it.
rip.
i started the whole thing over, but am only on repeat #1. don't get me wrong, this is an easy pattern. if you can k2tog and yo, you can do it. my need to multi-task is what screws me up every time.
today it will rain. today there will be much sewing and general craftiness up in here.
