Just another Manic Monday ...
It is the start of the work week, and already you feel behind. Behind on what you ask? Well, knitting time of course. You go to your job, school, or even just down the stairs of your home and realize that while the weekend is over, it also means that so is your precious knitting time. What do you do? Well there are many options:
1) Say 'Ahh what the hell, I'm just going to ignore everything, take the phone off the hook and knit'
2) Look longingly at your just begun Audrey (or balls of Calmer, or if you have been industrious the back piece already) and sigh with longing because you know that you need to get some work done
3) Have a friend or significant other hide your project so you can't find it anywhere and can not be tempted by the call of Audrey
Just what would you do?
I am a bad bad person. I know what I would do. It certainly would not be number 3. Allow non knitting hands to touch my work? *gasping* NEVER. Even if it is just an excuse to keep my knitting strewn around my knitting chair.
As for number 2. This is something that I do often. Yet with audrey. Well she deserves to be adored, loved and never neglected.
So I would of course have to say #1. I just would not be able to put her down. I would have to love her, and cuddle with the Calmer. There is just no way that I could cheat on her with other projects (or could i? that is yet to be seen). Perhaps that is why (bashful blush inserted here) I have yet to start my audrey. Travelling as I am, well it just wasn't a feasible option. Yet today, I broke down and went to the LYS where I am staying and fondled .. yes fondled, the Calmer. So tempted to swatch. So tempted. But I was saved by the ring of the alarm on my cell phone telling me that i have to get back to work. That the real non knitting world was interfering with my knitting time.
