A blog about knitting/COMBINATION!

I want to write about a million things non knitting related.....the restraint is hard to hold on to.  [husband] Getting out of the army is stressful.  Trying to be what you're supposed to be is stressful.  Usually knitting takes my stresses away.  Actually I'm sure it still does.  But it's hard for me to stop thinking whirlwind tornados of worry that someone's gotta be able to hear they're so loud, long enough for me to get into the meditative groove. 

Maybe my worries over the Subtly 80's sweater are lending to that though.  And stupid Kassie DePaiva.  I just feel so bad about wanting to throw something whenever she's on the TV.  I hate people who are so ignorant of how annoying they are.  I think I hate them even more when I'm sure I am one of them.  If you're annoying yourself you've got to be annoying someone else around you right?  I think it's mostly annoying myself in sympathy for others though.  Cus deep down, I do like the person I am.  I'm knitting it (the sweater) XXL so it will be baggy and ...subtly 80's, but the sleeves are looking frumpy and overly shaped.  But I'm just gonna finish them and see how I feel. If i use the brain capacity to engineer some genius sleeve then I will melt the non-worry-barriers.

Started on the bobble necklaces.  i don't wanna have to sew the neckband and "sheath" together, that seems...seams, haha.  It seems to seamy for a posh necklace.  But that thread is a pain in the ass to work with.  I suppose I'll just follow the pattern for mothers day, but put it on the back shelf for a pattern tweak another time.

All this combination lingo is swirling around in my head along with the worries and it makes a bit of sense, but so does fudging my way through it until i get the desired results.  Right? Right.

Knitting to Legend of the Seeker is really awesome.  Very zone-y. Only then you get obsessed with the book and can't stop reading long enough to knit at least until you're past the Denna part, even if it is 5 in the morning!
