March 11, 2012: I FAILED!  I missed Day 7’s challenge!!! >.< Remembering to complete a challenge for six consecutive days deserves a pat on the back, at least in my book… lol :(  Anyway, I loved reading everyone’s pet peeves because I can relate to all of them.  Maybe a good follow-up question would have been “how do you cope with these pet peeves?”  

I no longer have an issue with saying, “HOLD ON,” when I’m busy counting stitches, I don’t even bother correcting people anymore when they ask what I’m knitting (yes, this makes me a traitor to the art of crochet), and I just cut the umbilical cord when the middle of my skein of yarn gives birth to a tangled mess (this way, I can continue crocheting and deal with untangling yarn later).
