Oops ...

I was feeling ever so smug with my callinectes bag (and we all know that with pride, comes the fall). I planned to make this little pouch bag, rather like the charleston bags that I had made

better than wrapping paper!



to wrap the Johnny socks in, for my father-in-law. I even thought to personalise it by charting out the name of his boat and fair isling onto his bag.

Very smugly, I showed the results of my labour to my husband. Check out the tension..


no too bad for knitting in the round with cotton!


callinectes is a type of crab

Very gently, he inquired, where is the 'i'. D'oh! I mispelled it. So tonight, was a ripping session. I knew I shouldn't had stayed up late to finish the lettering

Next time, try it in Greek?

Here's hoping the appreciation will just rain down on you after the trouble you've taken!

Polly, your knitting is beautiful, I agree with Sharon's suggestion that they should rename the boat. Pity that it is supposed to be bad luck.

Oh, the pain! But it looks so good. Curses to the evil "i"!
