Johnny Depp Made Me Mess Up My Knitting

pirates_of_the_caribbean.jpg

So there we were, late on the last lazy Saturday afternoon of the whole Chanukah/X-mas/New Year's/Winter Break two weeks OFF... and with one kid not feeling too well, I stopped at Blockbuster and rented Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. All 5 of us (plus dog) were gathered 'round the SONY 32" flat screen, with a bowl of crunchy, low fat (but too salty, we all agreed) cheddar-cheese flavored Pita Snax.

I, of course, had my sock-in-progress. Round and round on my two Skacel Addi Turbo circular needles I flew... all the way to the requisite 7"! But then came the part where I had to translate the directions for double-points to two circulars, AND increase for the strong heel, and guess what... that sexy Johnny Depp made me mess up! Of course, I didn't discover my mistake in reading the directions until several hours and several rows worth of incorrect increases later. So, this morning, I frogged back about a million rows and then tinked and tinked until I got myself all re-set with the right number of stitches on each needles, etc. etc. etc.

It's all that Johnny Depp's fault.

You actually thought you could knit through Johnny Depp as a swashbuckling anti-hero?!!! You're more dedicated to knitting than I...LOL. Of course, I saw the movie -- twice -- on the big screen where no one could tell I was drooling.
