You never know just how addicted you are to a routine until it’s gone. Seriously. I forgot my knitting at home one day this week, and it just about drove me nuts. All of a sudden, I had a lunch hour with (gasp!) no knitting. I tried to find ways to get to the Michael’s down the street, just so I could pick up just ONE ball of yarn and set of needles.
Instead, I plugged in my iPod (which I usually listen to while knitting at lunch) and found a few unfinished crosswords. Sad. Very sad. Remind me never to forget my knitting at home again, ‘kay?
I’m now on “vacation”, so will be home for the next couple of weeks. This means that I can play housewife over the Yule season. I think I’ll be spending the bulk of the next couple of days on knitting. Plans for this evening include cleaning the living room, putting up the tree, and likely decorating it. Yay!
X-mas shopping is pretty much done. It’s done for family members, at least. This makes me a very happy lady.

If I finish a project when I’m out, I will seriously sometimes just start knitting anything with the rest of the yarn, just to have something to do with my hands.
I always have the vague feeling that this isn’t entirely healthy behavior, but I do it anyway. I’m glad to see I’m not entirely alone.

Heheh…when I’m that close to finishing a project? It stays at home, and the still-in-much-less-progress project comes with me.
But…this time….I…uh…forgot my knitting and panicked. Let’s not do that again.
