Not Meeting The Goal

That red shrug I started? Still not done. Where the pattern asked to increase I started to decrease. I said eff the pattern and continued on by myself, only to ruin my decreases somehow with big holes. But I didn't realize this really until I was ready to bind off. I debated binding off and living with the holes or ripping out 5 rows and starting over. That lovely knitting side kick of mine helped me decide to rip it back so I could love it deeply when I'm done. Best idea ever. Only, since I've done that 2 rows have been finished. Yesterday was Easter so it was a pretty busy day but I managed to knit those 2 rows! Today is going to be my last day in my math class so all morning I have been studying for my math test. It's a ramble morning. I need more coffee. I need to knit. I need to get ready.
