Thank Ganesha!

Hey Kate,

Thank you for helping me come up with a solution for my lace chart knitting problem. With your suggestions and my leet scavenging skills, I was able to put together my new small project kit.

The LADWP magnet, after modification, holds its place beautifully and the case is big enough for a ball of yarn, circular kneedles and my required accessories.

I also think that the guardian of my current project is very appropriate. Meet Ganesha:

Though Saraswati is the Hindu god of knitting, I believe Ganesha is a better deity for my purposes. He is the Lord of Success (with successful project completion being my goal), but also the Destroyer of Pride. Since I learn humility with every frog of my projects due to major errors, I feel that he has been watching over me for some time.

Speaking of frogging, I'll be starting my mitts over again this evening. I think I've learned enough humility on this project, so Ganesha, bring me success! And if not, I really don't mind. Shine Sport is soothing to the touch and the Victorian Sampler Fingerless Mitts is a fun pattern. They'll be my summer driving mitts when I'm done.

That's all I got.

Later!
Robin
