Yopping 15 - The good and the bad



Short and sweet today, because I am off to Thanksgiving dinner in a couple of hours and I have knitting to do.



I only have 2 1/2 more squares to do on the Iona before putting it all together.  I managed a square a day (except Friday - because I was busy busy busy until bed).

Of course Friday may have been a write off because this happened on Thursday night as I was leaving my Knit Group.


Yup.  My fault.  Turned too soon and the post didn't get out of the way.  Stupid post.

I have a courtesy car now and my car is in the shop.  Thank God for insurance.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

  1. Oh no, I'm sorry about your cute, red car. Once I was taking the kids to the dentist and in the neighborhood in back of that village area, there are knotty trees, like baby Whomping Willows. I told my husband the tree won and wouldn't budge, LOL. He told our insurance company a tree hit my car. When I learned how to drive my mum would always tell me I was too far from the curb. So I was concentrating on that while backing in to a space I guess and the knotty trunk of the tree was sticking out past the curb, and well...my passenger door got dented in, so much I couldn't open it. Happy Thanksgiving to you! What will you be eating?

  2. Ouch! That's why they're called "accidents"! At least nobody was hurt. Happy Thanksgiving!

  3. Ooooh... I'm so sorry to hear about your accident, Mary-Anne. Stupid YELLOW post. The nerve of it leaving itself all over your mangled car. Hope you're able to get it fixed soon. And I hope you enjoy your Thanksgiving meal.

  8. That is too bad about your car. I hope you are ok though. You would think that post would have seen you coming and had the courtesy to move to another spot. Dang! I hope you had a marvelous Thanksgiving anyway. Good job on the Iona.

  9. I'm glad you didn't get hurt when your car connected with a post. I hate seeing mirrors dangling like that - I worry about whether there was any extra electrical damage because then it costs more to get a new mirror (not just remounting the old one). Lucky you were insured and I hope you aren't inconvenienced for too long with repairs.

I look forward to reading the comments. It makes me feel like I am not just posting into the void.
