knitty mcgillicutty: Tape Measures

Thursday, January 31

Tape measures are little fockers, no?

I buy this little guy at lunch today because I haven't been able to find the other two for months.

Then I come home and within 5 minutes I find them in separate locations.

Cheeky little fockers.

Don't even get me started on needle guages.

P. Lee said...: I hate tape measures. I have about 5 of them and never can find them when I need one. Today I was measuring the length of a bracelet and ended up using ribbon and a ruler - sometimes one must be creative! I suggest storing them in every room!; 2/04/2008
