I Give Up

It's Wednesday. Last Friday, we were told we had today off because of renovations. On Monday, we were told that we had to work because the renovations were being done at night. Yesterday there was a sign on the door telling the customers that the store will be closed between 10am Wednesday and 6am Thursday. That's right. The powers-that-be changed their minds again. I am going yarn shopping now, even if they call me up and tell me that the store isn't closing.

Remember those cabled wristwarmers I knit for my mom? That pattern was based on this pattern:
