Well, the knitting on the vortex/maelstrom shawl is coming along. I decided it's been ignored enough. I'll knit on it until I get fed up and want to throw it across the room. To make me feel better, I've started 3 small projects - 2 scarves (prismatic scarf and a bellflower lace scarf that started out as a headband) and a shawl (light and up shawl).
My GOD I hate this keyboard. Some of the keys are stiff and don't register unless you're imagining you're playing along with Beethoven's 5th. Arrggh! It's not even 6 months old, this laptop. What a PAIN!!!.
. . . Anyway. The knitting is progressing ok. I'd like to say nicely, but I'm not in the >50% mood to knit. I'm having another month of "not wanting to knit". It's killing me. I "want" to knit, but the thought of knitting another 800 stitch (and increasing) row on a circular shawl that seems to have no end (though I DO know there's only one more repeat after the next 10 rows) in sight is getting a tiny bit annoying. But, the good thing I have to look forwards to is the pretty border. Right now, I'm definitely making the border a carrot to keep me going.
You see, I know what part of the problem is. . . I'm grieving, and I'm refusing to properly grieve.
I have NO idea why. I really don't. Anyway. It's MY problem, and I know how to deal with it, but I need to know I'll not be interrupted and totally alone. So It'll be awhile, and until then...I'm hoping I'll be ok.
But on a better note for the knitting, I've finished the knitting and sewing on the Simple Lines shawl. I even beaded the border. It's lovely, but it'll be better once I lightly block it. Unfortunately, I don't know when that'll be.
So. The house cleaning slowed a little bit during the last couple weeks of February (I was a bit ill and didn't have the energy, if I'm honest), but I've gotten most of the recycling (so far) out of the house, and that felt good. I'm planning on culling a "few" more books and a few more clothes this coming week.
Ok, I'm done with this. Later.
