Knitwit (27 May 2007 - 7:55 a.m.)
At present, I have three knitting projects in progress, and will be soon starting a fourth (a baby blanket for my niece, who is due to deliver in August). I�m not sure why I can�t just stick with a project until it�s finished, instead of switching from one to another all the time� I guess I bore easily. Do other knitters (hi, Kim!) do this, as well? Anyway, here�s what I�ve got going. The scarf (standard fare for beginners):
The bathmat:
Furry flip flops (Only one half of the pair has been completed):
Despite my lack of a finished product, learning to knit has been a godsend. Since I am not able to be on my feet for long periods of time, knitting gives me something to do while sitting. I�m not into television (with the exception of my guilty pleasure, General Hospital), and, although I love books, reading has lately had a soporific effect on me. I suppose that�s not all that unusual considering how tired I am. So, knitting fits the bill nicely. And, best of all, it serves as a distraction from my pain.
Speaking of distractions from my pain, I have a visit with LA and Mick to look forward to today. We�re going out to dinner for an early celebration of Daniel�s 40th birthday (which is actually tomorrow). Yes, I am almost thirteen years older than my husband. So what and so there. Song of the Day: Doozer Knitting Song From The Muppets �It's neat and it's sweet It's a ding dong treat Knittin' socks for little feet Just sittin' with your knittin' all day long You know knittin's friendly And knittin's fun Knittin's good for everyone And that is why we sing this knittin' song Well it's knit one purl two What's a Doozer gonna do With a gol-darn Ball of yarn? It's stitch three drop four Pitch that knittin' out the door right now There's a green, there's a red There's a knot in my thread A knitter needs his noggin read So don't come 'round and speak to me of yarn You can knit all day and nothin' fits 'Cause only nitwits like to knit And knittin' needles just ain't worth a darn Well it's knit one purl two What's a Doozer gonna do With a gol-darn Ball of yarn? It's stitch three drop four Pitch that knittin' out the door right now�
