5 Days And Counting
That's how long it's been since I last knit. I feel like an addict coming down off a drug or something. My fingers are itching for my needles. I want some fibery goodness in my hot little hands NOW. I have never gone this long without knitting since I started learning in February. I have all those fabulous new books to go through and overcommit myself to! Suddenly The Boy wants to do all these things we haven't done in ages: go to movies, go out to dinner, see friends. When he's hermited away with his nursing books (he's in nursing school, but currently on holiday), I knit. I never realized how much I count on his hours and hours of study to be my alone time with the knitting. I must knit soon! Is it weird that I miss it so much? |

I know how you feel. If I don't knit for a few days my hands twitch.
Last fall I had to go 2 and a half months without knitting in order to make a big art show deadline, and it sucked out loud. I am the type who knits on the bus, in class, at restaurants... and I denied myself even that, so that there wasn't a little portable project in my purse, compelling me.
