in which I embarrass myself slightly
Posted on November 13th, 2007 at 11:06 amIt’s a weird day today, but I think that will turn out to be a good thing.
Jamie has a field trip, which meant I had to drop her off early today. I hope this means I can get some more things done. I have things heaping up and while they are not huge things, well, I get overwhelmed easily. So yeah. The promise of a little extra uninterrupted time has lifted my mood already.
I’m pleasantly surprised because as recently as last night while on my walk (dude, I really need to do a Rivendell update) I contemplated shutting down all of my various internet haunts and hiding at home with my yarn, guitar, and old German textbook. This is a typical urge for me when I am feeling the previously-mentioned overwhelmedness on top of even mild general depression. I feel alright though, because I am at least aware of The Crazy.
I’m also feeling happier because I finished my Crafty Witch Project ™ contribution last night. (Note: It is probably not a good sign that I’m viewing most of my knitting WIPs as burdens. I must explore this thought later.)
Tyrolean Stockings by Ann Budd from Interweave Knits Fall 2007, knit shorter than written, in Berroco Ultra Alpaca in “Cardinal”
I also recently did a quick crocheted beanie out of Berroco Comfort.
(Late SPS, lol.)
The Quick Hat will probably be the theme of my knitting and crochet for the next month or 2. I am needing lots of instant gratification. And hugs too, really.

I’m not really the type of person who gives out hugs to people I don’t know really, really, really well, but c’mere (((Rosemary))).

I know the desire to flee the reach of the internet. Someday I hope to be able to. (but not while my university uses it for so much)

*Hugs* great socks and hat! Instant Gratification is always a good thing.

(((((hugs))))) I totally understand, and you know where to find me if you feel like talking. The socks are lovely! :)

Those socks are great. I am sending good wishes your way! I hope you got a lot done in your alone time this morning.

Hang in there. I’m totally with you on the overwhelmed.
Ultra Alpaca socks? Sound waaaarm!

Hiding out with yarn is sometimes exactly what I need. And it’s much better for you than hiding out with cheesecake. Which also sounds nice. (((hugs)))

Love the socks. They look amazing.
