I promised myself that I wouldn’t do it, but my husband asked very sweetly this morning. And this is the first time that he’s ever asked me to knit anything for anybody. But it looks like I will be making another one of them. That’s right–They’re baaaaaack! They are becoming a Christmas tradition. Next year, I may have to start varying the colors or knitting them for the homeless just for variety. Or I could just be the crazy knitting lady who knits the same thing for people year after year. The good news is that this means I get to go to The Woolie Ewe after work. The chance that I will only walk away with the one skein of Cascade 220 that I need is slim to none.
Those that have been paying attention, know that I play video games. Because I pay attention, I know that not all of my dear readers care about the n00b ‘lock and blue guy that I pwned last night. For those who understood what I just said, try my new blog Lavender Blue.
How do I manage two time-consuming hobbies? Manage? Hah! Not a whole lot of managing goes on. More like streaking. The entirety of August, September, and October were dedicated to WoW, but for the three months before that, I only played Lost Odyssey and that only a tiny bit when my right hand started cramping from the project du jour. November has started out with more balance. Some mornings I come into work early feeling peaceful and relaxed–very zen. The night before, I knitted. Other mornings I arrive a little late, a lot frazzled, and with one eye twitching. The night before, I gamed. Gaming is exciting in a way that knitting isn’t and shouldn’t be. That’s not to say that accidently pulling your needle out of a half-finished shawl isn’t exciting–however, that heart attack isn’t the goal.
