Psychotically Sane

Everything has been crazy for almost the two weeks, since losing my friend. Myself and friends at work still miss her terribly and talk about her often, reminiscing in the memories and still experience the slight zombie feeling when we think about her. Of course it’s nothing compared to what her family is feeling, but we are still continuing to show our support for them as much as possible.

Work overall has been nothing but insane. Bad days followed by more bad days. I am ready for a vacation and soon….

I guess the only thing that is helping me keep my sanity, besides Skyler’s cuteness, is my knitting. I’m getting bored with making stock of newborn hats for my Itty Bitty Knits shop that I decided it was time to knit something for myself. I wanted to knit some fingerless gloves. I know it’s summer, but with my procrastination, I can start now and have them done in time for October 2009. Or January 2010…. The pattern I found involved using a cable needle. All of a sudden I was officially scared. I had no clue how to use a cable needle or how it would turn out. So I knit up a quick gauge swatch for the pattern to make sure I had the correct needle size and yarn weight and practiced with my cable needle to figure out how to use it. Very quickly I fell in love. And because I really do procrastinate, I’ve started a Mini Cabled Scarf. It is knit out of a beautiful Patons Soy Wool Stripes yarn that has one of the most beautiful colorways I have ever knit with. Once this is finished, then I will start the fingerless gloves. Maybe…. ;)
