OMG I almost knit a caboose!
I got a few pearls off, so I unwound it and redid it properly as the sweater for my tiger barb I intended.

For a few moments, though, I really thought I was going to have a disaster.

I mean, who has room for a knit caboose in the living room? Those things are huge.

Remember, kids - be careful when you knit. The Devil is always there, trying to make you screw things up and up with something 400 times bigger than you intended.

Damn Devil and his knitting-enlargement evilness.

1. Unless you are knitting in something that was formed in an oyster ...
... that would be purl, not pearl.

Do all your tropical fish wear sweaters? Maybe you need an aquarium heater.

3. Gah! I knew that didn't look right. Thanks. And yes, all my fish have sweaters,
except the tiger sharks - I made them zoot suits.

2. You are such a frogger!
That's the only knitting term I know and I use it with abandon.

4. Be glad you don't work at a knitting factory.
Or end up in Central Park when those ungrateful and evil trees let loose with all of their mind-control and suicide-inducing toxins :P

5. Well, this is a lot classier than the "I almost shit a mousse" thread I was planning
