Ok, not really. My life is pretty interesting now, what with the whole “I just got my Master’s” and “I’m getting married in just over 6 weeks” situation. But my day-to-day existence, and particularly my needles, aren’t really all that thrilling.
There is the ongoing epic apartment cleaning quest. I have vanquished the kitchen and bathroom, and have leveled up to…drumroll please…the BEDROOM. Yes, I know, how exciting for me. I hope it will be over soon.
There is also the knitting, which I have been doing, mainly unsuccessfully. After having necessarily neglected it for several weeks, my meager skills had atrophied appropriately, leading to some highly frustrating mistakes, ripping back, and my realization that while I’d figured out a motion that would create a purl stitch on the needle, it was such an uncomfortable movement that I resolved to teach my hands to move the way the video on KnittingHelp.com shows it, or die trying. That held up actual progress a bit, although I did eventually succeed (more or less).
These obstacles conquered, I went on to complete something! Pictures of the new FO are lacking however, for while I doubt that this blog is being read by the recipient-to-be, it’s possible and therefore I’m taking no chances on spoiling the surprise. Rest assured, though, I have been working! I’m hoping, now that I’ve sorted out my purl issues and got my hands back on track, that I’ll have something more interesting to show you soon. We shall see – it will depend on whether I ever resurface from my spring cleaning!
