One of the good things I've been able to do this past month is knit until I pass out. Honestly, I must have completely lost my mind, because I have become even more knitting-obsessive than I've ever been before.
Having a bad day? Work on a sock. Hate the people you're playing a show with? Don't talk, make a few rows of that scarf happen. Antsy? Intarsia.
The upshot of this is that those benighted bedamned socks? Finished. Finally. I swear to GOD I thought I was going to lose my mind.
You have to admit, they are fabulous, no? (Ignore my enormously fat ankles.) The moss stitch looks great even though it was a pain in the ass. And OH. MY. LORD. I love the way they feel. Soft and fluffy and happy and guaranteed to make you forget you still have three hours of lessons to teach before you can go drink something.
And just to prove that I have indeed lost my mind, my celebration solution was to start an intarsia scarf. I know. I'm crazy. But this is why you love me.
