Yarnification

Ack!

The story thus far: I have gotten through all but the last round of the border. I stopped to eat, which was evidently a mistake becase my shiny happy red J hook is now missing. This is my only Boye J hook, folks. I do not want to switch to the Bates J hook because I know for a fact my gauge will change. Aaargh!

(runs around shrieking for a bit before resuming the search)

Edit: After a brief freak-out break and recruiting some help in looking, the gnomes have returned my shiny thing and all is now right in my world.

Again with the editing: This border blows. I’m on the last round where you do all these freaky clusters and goofy picots in the ch3 and ch5 loops from the previous round, and you know what? I am not doing it. I hate it. It is pointy. You could put an eye out on that thing, it’s that pointy. It’s the sort of thing that would be lovely in a doily but is absurd in worsted weight yarn. I’m doing shells in the ch loops instead, and that is final. It will be way cuter, and also faster because I don’t need to read the pattern and make tr clusters and dc picots and pointy things.
