The Wedding Dress - Disaster #1

I am naming this Disaster #1 because I expect with as difficult of a project as a wedding dress is combined with my lack of attention and my bull-in-a-china-shop sewing philosophy this will not be the last disaster! I decided that the 4 longer strips of boning needed to be heated again and straightened a little better. After putting them in a pot of boiling water, I went to work on my current quilt project. An hour later I smelled burning plastic.

The pot is ruined. I have to buy more boning. Would you call this a sewing disaster, cooking disaster or both?

This was not Happy Anything!

Now I am really MAD . . . at myself!

Do you see my mistake? I was just happily knitting along the other night, watching a movie with my BFFs and not paying attention to what I was doing. It wasn't until the next day when I picked up my knitting and found my error. I messed up the braid on the last cross over on the left hand mitten. I was supposed to hold 3stitches in front, but it looks like I held 3 stitches in the back. So now I will have to tink back about 4 rows--on both mittens! Waaaaahhhhhh!
