A Random Day

I started out with a bunch of random crap which didn't mean anything to anyone but me. So I deleted it. I've said previously that I tend to dwell on the negative. And that's what I was doing with my randomness. Not good.

Knitting....hum.....I've been more scatter-brained than usual. The February Lady Sweater has been scrapped. I won't have enough yarn. Which makes me sad because it was looking really good. All the stripes from the Kureyon were cool. Oh well! I really need to take the time to do the math and gauge figuring. Probably the only thing in my life I do with any reckless abandon is cast on without doing the figuring. And that's wrong. Very wrong. I waste so much time. Another thing to work on changing.

Summer of Socks starts on Saturday. I can't decide what I want to cast on for first. So many choices, lots of yarn and an itch to buy more sock yarn. This is really dangerous. I'm still unemployed, I have two college bills coming any day now, gas is $4.00 a gallon. Wait. I have a credit at The Loopy Ewe. OH BOY! There is a light at the end of the tunnel!

I'll say it again-Ravelry is so cool and utterly addictive. Not good for my addictive personality. Though I've been good and haven't spent long hours on it lately. But man, what a tool it is. And a window into the knitting world beyond my own little head. When I was at my former place of employment, I felt like I was living in a bubble. Not entirely the fault of the employer. It just seemed like such a small environment. I didn't allow myself to look outward from there. But the knitting world has taken on such a life of its own. I am so glad to be a part of it and need, I think, to be more immersed in it. Once again, it's a matter of putting myself out there. Working on it.
