Help! I have been taken over,
but not by the dark side. I have been taken over by this sweater. Captivating is right. I don't feel at all interested in setting it down. It's siren song is a gentle but firm call. It calls me to just keep on knitting it.
My hands were giving me a bit of trouble yesterday. Not pain. Just that feeling that it was time to stop before pain. I did cut the day a bit short It is so difficult to sit there and not knit when everything I am wants to be knitting. I really do not understand how others can sit and watch TV without dong something with their hands. I know it is my own peculiarity, my personal quirk. It verges on physical torture not to have running through my hands. When I was young, turning the pages of a book worked to ease it but these days actual book reading is not possible. My eye muscles are tired and I simply can't focus well enough to read a physical book.
So it is. Sure it could be better. I could knit for 8 hours a day again and do all the things I cannot do. But right now, in this moment, I am glad for the things I can do. It is just so wonderful to have so many interesting things to challenge myself with. I feel so empowered by the things I can make and do with what I do have. It could be worse I hope to be able to knit a wee bit longer today. I will try to space it out better so that my hands still have some knitting in them later in the day. I have some interesting sewing things coming up and I might get those started today. Or at the very least, I will get the sewing room back into sewing room order.
