Abbey got me a gift to cheer me up after all my knitting related stress-the book
At Knit’s End.
I’ve been reading the Yarn Harlot’s blog for awhile but had never read her books. This one is great. I’m now reading another one of hers, Knitting Rules. She talks about how the obsessive knitter redefines knitting time. Like standing in the grocery line transforms into sock knitting time.
This is an excellent idea. I’ve now started crafting in the car.
Last time I went to the Taos knitting group I somehow forgot my knitting bag at home. I was annoyed at first. Then I realized I had a knit vest in the car I had snagged from the free box for recycling the yarn.
Instead of knitting I brought in the vest and started the frogging process. I haven’t crocheted something in awhile so I decided to crochet myself a tam. I haven’t made myself one in years. It’s relaxing to make something in the car. Makes car trips just zoom by.
I’m with you on the car knitting! Someone told me recently they always had a special ‘car project’ that they kept in the glove compartment for random knitting opportunities, and I’ve followed their example!
PP-I’m hooked on car knitting now. I’ve started a pair of socks and it makes trips go so much faster.
