5HK17HC26HFMF123HDS Explained

Despite what most people say, I have decided that 5HBS does not mean "Five Hour Baby Sweater". It really means "Five Hours of Knitting, Seventeen Hours of Cussing, Twenty-Six Hours Frogging the Mo Fo and One Hundred Twenty-Three Hours Spent in Denial Sweater"

Maybe 5HK17HC26HFMF123HDS just doesn't roll of the tongue like 5HBS.

Nope...very few people can knit that in 5 hours and certainly not the first time.

However, once you get through it the first time, it will become much easier!!

I have problems with EZ surprise baby jacket. Never have gotten through one.

My time saving tip for you, Aidan, is to curse WHILE you knit and frog. Multitasking ....

I wanted to say "Quitcher bellyachin'! If I can knit this sweet little thang you can too" but then I remembered the first time I made it, and how those instructions are really strange in parts...

So perhaps it should be called the 123denial sweater?
