Funky

Sorry I disappeared for a while there.  I guess I have a few reasons

·          Master Knitter swatches do not really make good blog reading… you’ve all seen what seed stitch, ribbing and increases/decreases look like, right?

·          Joey and I have been doing a 60-day gut buster workout thing and sometimes that makes me too tired to even look at the computer when I get home.

·          I am just completely boring right now; my house is a mess because we are trying to ‘pare down’ on household items that we won’t need/won’t have room for in new york, which has become a full time job in itself.  I just think about the amount of work and time and energy something like that takes and then I decide to ignore it and go hide in my room and watch reruns of Frasier.

I’ve really been looking for some knitting stuff to get excited about lately, but I ‘m stuck in a knitting guilt triangle.   I have three projects going right now:

·          Master Knitting Level 1: this one is my top priority, but I find that I have to make sure I pay attention to my gauge the whole time = not conducive to relaxing tv knitting.

·          My So-Called Scarf: about halfway done, beautiful, but I no longer have that cool winter breeze in my sails that would make me rush to finish it.  Plus, MK level 1 takes precedence.

·          Thermal.  Oh, god, thermal.  I really want to have this sweater, but I really don’t want to put in the effort anymore.  I’m at the part where you have to do armhole and neckline shaping at the same time, and I don’t know if I have enough brainpower for that right now.  And again, MK level 1 takes precedence.

Normally when I get in a knitting guilt funk like this I buy new, beautiful, inspiring yarn or haphazardly jump without looking into a new project, but I can’t let myself do that right now.  I need a kick in the butt and get going- with both my knitting and my new york-readying.  So, dear blog readers kick away, help me out of my funk!

Ooooh --- not so good at kicking. Maybe something cheer-ish, like, "Go, Kim, go!!"?

Moving is overwhelming, I've been here barely a year and just unpacked the last box in my room a couple weeks ago. We're probably moving again soon too. You don't need a kick in the pants, so much as a reminder that it will get done, really I promise! I can't imagine doing the master knitter stuff, that's just terrifying. I'm watching you, then maybe I'll try....
