OMG.
My mom over dinner: "Hey, so you're knitting right? I don't suppose that you'd have a shawl ready for Tuesday"
Me: *hopeful look, trying to play it cool*
Mom: "...for the birthday of this old lady I know. I don't know what else I can give her. I'll buy it from you."
Burn. BURN! Each sentence as it came out! A knife! Through my heart! A BURNING KNIFE.

I think the most frustrating part is that it's for someone I don't know! She got me to knit a scarf for my grandpa last Christmas, and that was all sorts of fun because I had a little bit more notice and it was someone whose taste I could gauge. But this was just, eeek.
