All right. I can Cast On. It doesn't look beautiful, but I can do it. I can even start to knit stitch. But I did it so tightly that I couldn't do a second row. I have the pattern down, so I might have to practice and practice till just these first two steps don't tighten up like the arteries I feel closing in response to the stress that knitting is making me feel. "Really, you can have my knitting needles when you pry them from my cold, dead hands. Seriously, I want you to take them. Just wait for the rigor to settle down, and remember to check your blood pressure regularly when learning to knit."
For my beloved three people who read this, my apologies for the lateness of my posting. Despite the crazy amount of stuff to do this week, I'll be posting regularly again tomorrow.
I have no jokes to finish my post. Knitting has pierced my soul and I can no longer tell jokes. Nothing is funny anymore. There is only sadness and pain and yarn.

what I've been wondering, is how you'll have time to continue all these different activities. By the time you stretch, read some Tom Sawyer, knit a little bit, and this is only 6 weeks into the project....guess I'm saying if you learn to knit but don't keep knitting you'll forget how. And then what would the point be? Does this make any sense? No? not surprised. :(
ReplyDeleteNo, Mick, you make a lot of sense. It's been very much on my mind throughout each project. What I'm hoping is that I'm going to find a lot of new things that interest me, and even if I don't have a 843 hour day in which to indulge them all, I'll be able to more easily fall back into them with the foundation understanding of my ten days. Still, you got to admit, the potential for reading a mental breakdown in progress might be a draw for a couple of people reading.
