Knitting for Nerves
Last night I was very tense and anxious. (Don't ask me why--and now I can't blame hormones). My neck was incredibly tense. All I wanted was to relax. For me: the prescription is to knit with some lace weight (weird, yes, but for some reason it makes me relax). The kicker? Could_not_find_it! WTF!?
So I dig out my I-Pod from purse (and wash off all the chocolate that has somehow found their way all over the darn thing--doot doot!) and listen to some Joshua Tree. The GOOD stuff. But I really need my lace.
My neck is still incredibly sore. Oh well.
Yesterday, the kids and I spent the day with Anne (at her house) and then went to our weekly knit meet up at Starbucks (and dinner elsewhere). I bribed the kids with milk shakes and chocolate milk.
It worked. Mostly.
We had a nice time talking and knitting. It was hot sure, but there was a nice breeze. I got to work on both my super secret projects. I am still not totally sure where they will go, but that are both chucking along. And they are admired.
Although, I am pretty sure that THIS might be why I had a head ache.
Both kids were less than stellar at the restaurant. I left a good tip at least.
My neck is still killing me and after I publish this post I am going to try to knit away the stress (I did find my lace--yip yip!).
On some blog related business: thank y'all for commenting in regards to my various questions and queries. Very helpful and makes me feel read. ;-)
Knitting lace would GIVE me tensionn! I did the gauge square for Goddess Mystery Shawl KAL today. I am not good at ready charts!!! I missed one YO but other than that it turned out pretty and I am as ready as I can be for tomorrow's first clue. Hope you get to feeling better! Barb in Irving
