The Secret to Knitting

Category: Knitting,Mood,Movies,Television,Weather,Work — Moose @ 11:40 pm

Just as I was wondering how my other friends who knit find time to do it, I discovered the secret to getting myself to sit down and do it: have a really busy, stressful day at work.

Came home from work, sort of ate. Loaded up the Resident Evil movies on the TiVo, and proceeded to add several inches to the scarf, I’m guessing at little over a third of what’s on it now was added over the past couple of hours tonight. And it was quite soothing, with the movies, the rain and hail, and the repetitive nature of this particular project (31 stitches, RS: k1, *k1b, p1, repeat and k1 at end; WS: *k1, p1, repeat). Precisely what I needed to get law, and work, off the brain.

Going to be interesting soon – I’m almost done with the first skein, so I’m going to have to switch off shortly. Shouldn’t be difficult, but it’s another new step to take. Not tonight, too tired for that, but soon.

Exhausted

Spent all day (around laundry and grocery shopping and a run) working from home on a legal memo. It’s still in need of more work than I can do tonight, but it’s a lot closer than where it was at the end of last week. Completely bushed now, though.

Spent some good time with BC this weekend. Got to see Greg, Charlie and various others at Gregmas on Saturday. Avoided the traffic for the new stadium both Saturday and Sunday (though hearing the roar of the crowd when I got home Sunday night was music to my property values ears).

Otherwise I’m just beat, so now I’m gonna crash.
