Wait

Yesterday.


Today.


It used to take me two days to do a sleeve but now it is three and sometimes four.  Sigh.  Oh well.  At least I can knit.  

I could knit more.  In my heart I want to knit more.  However if I do, my hands will suffer.  I am knitting on short needles and small circumference things.  That often sends my hands into a winters worth of  irritation.   I debated about digging out dpns, but I do not have any in the size I need here.  It means that I have to knit very purposefully to work to keep my hands relaxed,  

So far, so good.

I occasionally think about knitting sleeves separately, two at a time, in the round and sewing them on.  Just writing that down sends shivers down my spine.  It isn't the sewing in that gives me shivers.  I like sewing knits together.  It's the separate part.  Not being able to try things on as I go would drive me batty.  

I would like to get this sleeve finished today but I keep an open mind.  Weather varies and so do my hands.  I will let my hands be the boss.  Right now, my hands need that second cup of coffee.  Or maybe tea.  A good strong cup of tea may be nice.  

Wait.  Who am I turning into?  🤔
