Last week, Alana spotted the "design choice" I made. Perhaps this week (with another pattern repeat added) it'll be a little easier to see.
That kind of double yellow band, where it's yellow, then not, then yellow again, is where I started a new ball of yarn. And didn't look for the color where I left off to make a seamless transition.
Well, I did look, but for some reason I couldn't find the yellow (even though, clearly, it was right there). And I gave up.
I kind of like the break in the color sequence, so I'm keeping it.
A week ago I mailed the previous version in the different colorway to my sister-in-law for her birthday. Which is tomorrow. Plenty of time to get there, right?
Well, plenty of time if it went right there. Unfortunately, the package made a little detour. On Friday, this is where the tracking said it was:
Hawaii. The package was in Hawaii.
Hawaii?!?
That's not even on the way. Unless we're going the long way round the world. (I live in California. Sister-in-law lives in Ohio.)
I just... I had to double check to make sure I didn't do something stupid like put the wrong address on the label. According to my records, no, I used the correct address with the correct zip code. Sigh.
So, her gift will be late. Sigh. But it did make for a funny text in explanation.
*shakes head* I guess my knits are better travelled than me. Sigh.
It went to Hawaii? That is a bit out of the way!
ReplyDeleteIt went to Hawaii.
DeleteUnfortunately I’ve had packages go astray like that, too.
ReplyDeleteI've had packages go astray, but like, a state over. This is a first for me.
DeleteHawaii! ha ha, that's crazy. Ok, now I can see the break - I like it!
ReplyDeleteI normally wouldn't do that, but I got lazy.
DeleteWell traveled! Definitely got on the wrong plane.
ReplyDeleteIt did. I guess it just wanted a quick trip.
DeleteHawaii.. lol.. It's on a grand world tour.
ReplyDeleteWow, they are really taking the long way around aren't they?
ReplyDeleteSorry your present is arriving late. How frustrating.
ReplyDeleteI would have been mad that I couldn't have accompanied the package to Hawaii - it's one of four states I haven't been to. But seriously, Hawaii is between California and Ohio? That doesn't even begin to make sense.
ReplyDeleteIt went the whole wrong way. I mean, I didn't think it was possible for it to go more west, but apparently it could.
DeleteI mailed something to Georgia and it went to Guam. Took weeks to get back. Georgia's abbreviation is GA, so someone assumed that was Guam and didn't check the zip code. That's the post office in my city, which I don't go to anymore. I'm closer to a different one anyway.
ReplyDeleteI mean... Guam has an entirely different abbreviation. Yikes. (The package made it to sister-in-law yesterday, so all's well.)
DeleteI have been surprised at routes that somethings take or are sent on when another route would have been a lot better. I need to get back on my temp. blanket.
ReplyDeleteHawaii's not even a weird route, as far as I'm concerned. That was a mistake. You can't convince me that anyone thought it going to Hawaii was what anyone meant to do.
DeleteWow! what a detour!!! so crazy it's funny! (not for you, though)
ReplyDeleteOh, I thought it was funny. And since the package actually got delivered yesterday...
DeleteThis looks great and love the colours
ReplyDeleteThanks.
