I should be sleeping...

I work nights. This gives me a lot of downtime, a lot of time to think.

Thinking... is not what I want time to do.

I have decided to be a copycat. To make an experiment. As a way to save myself, to keep me from overthinking thus getting depressed about my current heart-ache, I shall blog about knitting.

I am currently reading Casting Off by Nicole R. Dickson. I picked it before the break-up, probably subconciously knowing I would need a book in the future about letting go. Also, another book filled with Irish humor, scenery and... knitting.

Though I just started knitting, I learned to crochet in junior high. My step-mom Andrea taught me. I never did finish that scarf. I have finished several scarves now and hats! Working with different yarns, sizes of needles, playing with different stitches... this is my life now. That and blogging about it!

This shall be an effort to be honest (might as well be since no one's reading, right?!), committed (every day!), and to challenge myself to keep going (I can't just post about knitting single knit stitches every time... I must push towards new horizons!).

I will post pictures. Write stories. Talk about books about knitting, Irish sweaters, sheep, knitting patterns I have tried, knitters I have met, spinning (when I get there!), what knitting will mean for my future. And of course when I am not blogging, I will simply knit.
