put on your big girl pants and deal with it

deep breath.. grabbing onto the edge of the pit...yanking my way back up...

knitting.. purling.. yarnovering.. just keep my hands moving ... i have three projects on the needles and a pair of soldier socks in the wash.

i am knitting ZIP to fulfill a DIL request. She asked if there was a back opening sweater that i might make. Granddaughter could use one that DIL can put over her in the car seat after she is all tacked in.... so .. off to ravelry.. and ZIP.. It's a hoodie but i am not making it one. Checking with the designer, the neck is finished with the moss stitch all around it, so it will be just fine without the hood - and i won't need a zipper as it will be tucked in around my girl. soooo down to the pit (not to be confused with the pit referenced above) and stash diving to find something suitable. Debbie Bliss stash to the rescue.. Merino aran in a color that will be lovely with my girl's eyes.. if i can drag my corpulent behind from the chair i will take a photo of the color. if not.. i'm sure it will make an appearance anon.

i am knitting a project i cannot post. hopefully when i am done with it, i will have been able to ascertain if the person i am making it for checks this place.. if so.. sorry ya gotta wait.

my socks are washed.. need to be popped into the dryer.. then off to a soldier.. i need yarn so i am stopped where regulation socks are concerned til i get more. but i can do a pair of leisures. I have stuck to the 20 minutes rule.. somedays even when i don't want to look at needles.. so.. i am getting there with this as well. it is too satisfying to not do..

i've just said i am going back down to the pit to find more suitable yarn to knit the Augustus scarf - it looks like something that i can lose myself in ... and i am good at losing myself these days...
