Oh sweet IKEA box how you thwart me. 50 minutes in. Drawers constructed 0. Nails left 76. Optimism I'll complete this problem -100.

Good luck with the box!

I understand what she means about wanting to burn the directions. Matt has also had IKEA issues (see Larsenopolis for the Lion, the witch, and the Wardrobe post), so I think he would also be on board for this.

You are a true friend to send me such a gem.

I kept meaning to post this in Matt's comments but it just did not happen. So this is indeed for Matt as well.

I'm glad you enjoyed the read. Cara is a fun knit blogger.

Despite the angst that Ikea directions creat I still long to shop there.

Someday.

If you do have a ritualistic burning of the directions be sure to get a picture. :-)

The funny thing -- I just sent this link to Matt's dad. Big fan of that site. Once we finish the desk, we'll send over our own hack...

Stay tuned! :)
