... why I love knitting so much when it causes me so much frustration. For every fab project (hello, Adamas Shawl) there are two that are really, really not working for me. For example, recently, I have tried to knit both Multnomah and Mountain Peaks Shawls. Both have ended in tangled frustration.
On the other hand, a Branching Out scarf I made turned out to be brilliant.
This is a relationship like a few I've had (soaring ups and crashing lows), but at least I get something back from this one, I guess. Like handknit socks. Boyfriends, bosses and rubbish friends never gave me those.
So, for a while, I am going to knit socks. Plain socks in fancy colours (which is especially easy now I'm a member of the Three Irish Girls sock club). I'm going to stockpile in case we get another bitter winter, hopefully with attached snow days and everything.
In other news, looks like that from September, I'll be off on Fridays to concentrate on my writing. Yay!
PS- please check out my tea blog here. I'm currently taking part in a challenge I set myself to find the best Earl Grey teas!

You must have had the wrong boyfriends if they didn't give you handknit socks ;)
Also if you ever tire of the plain socks may I suggest the Eleanor pattern. I just started one and it seems to work very well with variegated yarn.
