September 16 part A
Well as you can see from the photo I have finished the “peace fingers” on both gloves. I am working on them one finger on at a time. It is at times like these that I lament things like why do we have to have two hands or two arms when doing a sweater- the agony of gloves: why do we have to have Eight fingers and Two thumbs??! Any way this is when the dangerous WPI-itis has been known to strike in the past. So you can see that the blogging is helping. It is keeping me focused.
I just finished watching the movie Julie, Julia and now I know why someone told me that I needed to watch the movie after I explained to them about my Knitting 24/7 project. It is the story of how a woman starts a blog about cooking every recipe in Julia Child’s French Cook Book. It gave me pause for serious reflection- I, too, like the main character suspect the ADD thing is a major forming factor in my life and that is partially why I was motivated to do all the projects in the book- it gave me structure and focus. I recognized some of the overly dramatic reactiveness in the overall scheme of my life as well. And like I mentioned in the intro to the blog I have imaginary competitors that participate in my self invented contests. Like the time I won the knit a sweater in a week contest. I did knit all the parts to the sweater and finished just stitches ahead of my nearest competitor but alas lost the title when it took another 3 months before I sewed the pieces together. A technicality that I tried to argue with the judges- after all I did do the knitting part in less than a week.
