Sick knitting
Patient is a standard 175-yard skein of Koigu KPPPM, color code P812, dye lot 122. 100% merino. Color is good, stitches per inch normal. Proceed as planned, cast on 648 stitches.
Things are going downhill fast, doctor! The 648 stitches have reduced, but not enough! The stitch count is too high! TOO HIGH! Ruffles are apparent, color looks bad. Patient responds to painful stimuli, but just barely. What should we do?!?
It doesn't look good. Apply Grey's Anatomy themed stitch marker, STAT!
It's no use doctor - patient is tacky, stitch count thready.
Cut the LVAD wire, nurse. It's too late for this one. I'll go inform the next of kin....
