April Funk

I have gotten into a funk and I’ve truly felt like whatever I would post about would just come out sounding like poo. A Knitter Review member posted a question to all bloggers... Do you write for an audience or not? At first I was like, no, but then truly if your writing, aren’t you writing as if someone is reading it? And unless I take the time to think about what I’m writing, my post sounds something like this...I Like Yarn...I can knit...Isn’t this pretty...Look what I can do. I then start to say to myself...self, what are you doing? Of course anyone who reads this is going...Yeah, I see you like yarn. Okay, you knit, I get it but you probably do it to often.

BUT...What if I want to say more? Does anyone have a clue as to what I’m talking about? Do any other bloggers go thru the extensive thought process to then come up blank? I think, I want to be witty, I want to be cool, I want...I want to be more then what I am. Why? Why do I need to be more then what I am.

I’m ranting now and if you feel you need to skip this part, scroll down and see pictures of my status on the Central Park Hoodie.



RANT CONTINUED: This is my emotional week...I don’t like posting about gross bodily functions and all, but yes PMS is in full swing. I’ve had my full share of caffeine, I baked homemade chocolate chip cookies and the purging of one room has lifted my spirits. I wont bother you with my internal struggle of producing a well written piece of blogger crap and I’ll just stick to my guns, knowing that I will always do the best that I can, when I can.

Okay, on to the more important subject matter: KNITTING!



The weather is amazing and I just couldn't live with myself if I didn't go out for a walk. Across the street is the park and flowers are in bloom...I think I freaked out the muggles taking pictures of knitting;) CPL back and two fronts complete. I’ve cast-on the sleeves and it’s going along very smoothly. The pattern is very easy to do and I’m finding myself daydreaming of this project in several yarn choices. Most of my mistakes have been when I made quick decisions or just kept knitting like the wind and didn’t notice how far I’d gotten. I will have to put this sucker on hold for perhaps 3 weeks...and that’s probably why I’m also in a funk. I want to knit this up and wear it. Yet, birthdays are around the corner and should consider knitting a personal item. Would I be a bad knitter for just buying a gift?

Jury duty is this coming Thursday and I still need to decide what project to bring. Most likely they’ll be socks, but I don’t think I should bring my Addi Turbo circ’s...maybe just some simple bamboo to get thru the metal detectors. The only other project I’m thinking of taking is a sketch book. My first passion and if you pricked my finger, India ink would spew. I haven’t drawn in a really long time, longer then I’m comfortable in telling. After purging the storage room and reminiscing thru my old sketch books...I think it’s time to bring it around again.
