If you are going to...
...spill root beer on a current project...
At least it was on the yarn, not on the finished knitting!
At least I rinsed it off before it began to soak in!
At least it's superwash yarn in the first place!
At least I have extra yarn!
At least it was on the outside of the yarn ball, so the inside is all safe -- only the outer layer will need to be removed, if that!
At least it wasn't on the project I'm done with. Oh, God.
Interestingly enough, I have never spilled anything on a knitting project before. In seven years! And I knit at the computer all the time (like while on gryphons in WoW). So...
At least I don't do this often!
