What??!!
Given the chance I can really amuse myself with my own mistakes. And, you know, I might as well be amused because I make mistakes with some frequency. Things were chugging along swimmingly with my Big Sack sweater. (The more times I type "Big Sack sweater", well, it's starting to sound obscene.) Here it is being blocked. After a brief wash, I smoothed it out to dry. Not a problem.

I sewed the right arm on. Didn't like some of the stitching. Ripped it out and sewed it on again. Looked good. Happily grabbed the left arm and started sewing. I was a good way into it when I decided to hold it up and admire my work. What do you think?

Any doubt? Here let me label it for you.

What????!!! What the.... Did I actually..... Yes, I did. I actually sewed both arms to the right side of the sweater. Nice. I totally made myself laugh out loud. I'm nearly certain that even with the foibles of haute couture, two arms on the same side of the garment won't catch on. So, I ripped out the sewing and reattached the arm in the proper place. Frankenstein has nothing on me.

1. "The more times I type 'Big Sack sweater',[sic] well, it's starting to sound obscene."
Thanks. I was starting to feel alone here in the gutter.
2. It's not so much the error that makes me laugh here, but the time I know you spent not questioning your decision. I sometimes type the same sentence twice (elapsed time: twelve seconds) or ask a table clearly embroiled in entrees "Are you feeling decisive about entree choices?" (elapsed time: two seconds). But stitching the right arm on the left of the sweater? I'm forced to think that was a time consuming errand.
Thus, I chuckled lengthily.
