Moving forward
Happy Valentine’s Day! Today is good day. We had a nice morning with the kids before going our seperate ways for the day. Yesterday, I had one of those wreckage things hanging over my head (can you say “taxes”) that I finally faced and dealt with. Well, I’m in the process of dealing with it anyway. And it feels great. It’s so strange how I have so much trouble dealing with these stressful things that pop up in life. Something that is a minor thorn in my side can fester and become this huge gaping hole that keeps me up at night and (used to) drive me to drink. When I’m forced to confront these demons, I’m almost always surprised at how easy the issue is to resolve once I dive in and how good it feels once the monkey is off my back.
On the knitting front, I wasn’t happy with my single [tag]cast-on[/tag] method so I went to KnittingHelp and easily learned a very cool double cast-on method. The Net is very nifty. My sweet mom gave me a huge skein of the most lovely, lucious red chenille and a pair of Clover bamboo circulars (size 6). After the [tag]Knitting Olympics[/tag] are over and I finish my felted purse, I’m going to knit myself a plush scarf.
It’s a good day to be sober and knitting.

It is very freeing to take care of that stuff isn’t it?
Facing things is huge!
Yep! It feels great. Suck a relief.
Felting is more fun than should be legal. I have felted bags, mittens, hats, slippers, hot pads, and I am working on a rug. It is fun!
