A Giggle for your Day. · Circular Machine Knitting Addi

A Giggle for your Day.

Today, I wanted to make the scrubby for the sink from the Knitmas files. So being the typical me, I did not take all of my yarn and rewind it like I should have and neither did I have the same yarn that Kim did because I was in a hurry and that’s just the way I am. So, I get ready and I just pull out a length of yarn on the skein I’m using and the way I go. Everything was going famously. I would just stop every once in a while and pull out a little more yarn so that it wouldn’t bind up on the machine. But, the fatal error that I made was starting this project while the Roombas were running. If you don’t know what a Roomba is, it vacuums and/or mopps your floor automatically and with six inside dogs and four inside cats that have hair, it is an absolute necessity. I have two because I have a sunkin living room and one vacuums, the living room and the other vacuums everything else. Well, as you can guess it, the Roomba in the living room where I was sitting, decided it wanted to knit too! And why not? It looks very much like an Addi. It’s round and it does twirly things. But not in the same way. as you can imagine. I let out a yell, three down my Addi and went chasing the Roomba as it drug along my ball of yarn, all the while tangling it around the wheels, the brushy brushes and the rollers. I was able to catch it, stop it and spend the next 30 minute saying naughty words and untangling my yarn. Did it all turn out? Yes it did. But I learned a valuable lesson today. Do not! Ever! Start knitting when the Roombas are running!🤣. Here is a picture of the offending little beast.
