Time to Get Back on Track!

I spent the past two weeks cleaning out my mom's garage and backyard, preparing for my nephew's birthday party. It was a big project that has really taken it's toll on my body and mind. I am hoping to take the next few days easy and just concentrate on working on the baby blanket, seeing that I am depressingly behind by a few days. Yes, I have OCD and even with knitting, I have to organize it. After completing the first section of the blanket, I calculated with how much time per day I would need to put in to complete the blanket. I calculated that if I dedicated 4 hours a day I would have the blanket complete within two weeks. Four weeks after my cast on date, I am only sadly halfway through. My goal is to complete the blanket by this Friday, even if it means having to burn the midnight oil a few nights. I would really hate to present this to her at her high school graduation!

For the Love of Knitting

Over the past two months, my mom has walked by my shaking her head asking, "What have I started?" Since knitting is a relaxing thing for me, I do it often. Not to mention I have a very important blanket to finish before the baby actually debuts. I can't help it though, I LOVE knitting. It just fascinates me. My sister even gives me a look when we're in a store and I find some random knitted piece, look at the label, and declare that not only can I make that, but it would be tailor made. Once I figured out what makes knitting, KNITTING, I have noticed how ever present its always been in my life. I love looking at something and realizing I know how it was put together, and that MY hands can put together a similar project. And if my family deems me crazy for that, so be it.
