It just figures I'd go and be typical... when it's cold, I knit. When it's warm, I don't. Since we're creeping--no, make that speeding--toward the middle of August, I guess I can admit it! I'm a fair weather non-knitter.
Non-knitting isn't all bad. I have plenty of time to think about knitting, imagine all the wonders I'll create, and yet I don't have the hassle of making mistakes, frogging, and just plain giving up. Of course, I also don't have the joy in finishing a project and all that goes along with it like the excitement of starting, the tiredness of staying up for just one more row...
In short, I haven't given up on knitting but I have decided that a pile of wool in my lap on a ninety degree day is less than appealing. Yes, I considered using cotton, but still, it just hasn't fit into my summer.
So, now that summer's on the wane, although I suspect we have plenty of 90 degree days left, I'm just getting that inkling of interest in starting up a project. Some of my basic ones I may have mentioned before. They're practical: I want to have a "knitting closet" to keep all my bits and bobbles organized, along with my stash (which is still small--I've resisted the urge to even look at yarn until I'm making an actual project); I also need my little knitting corner set up, and it's almost there.
Finally, I'd like to unearth my digital camera so I can keep adding pics to this blog. Sometime during our move it went missing and we've yet to find it.
I'm not wanting to wish the summer away, but I am looking forward to cooler weather. Happy knitting!
BTW, if anyone has tips on making a calorimetry with a Knifty Knitter, please send me ideas!
