On the knitting front at least. I managed to hold off until 4 PM Saturday before I went to Michael's, got 2 skeins of yarn and pulled out the size 50 needles to try knitting with them. It took a few rows to realized that it was too hard to knit continental, so I switched to moving the yarn with my right hand, whatever that's called, I can't remember right now. Once I did that, the scarf grew quickly. I worked on it from 4-6, then 7-10 and it's as tall as me! Now, I'm not very tall but I think that's a huge accomplishment. A few more rows and I'll bind it off. The pattern doesn't call for fringe, but I like fringe so I'll probably put some on there.
Yesterday was a bad day for smoking. Turns out I'm an emotional smoker or something, but I'm back to being resolved today and hope for better things.
Wow, you're making great progress on your scarf!
ReplyDeleteYou can totally do this quitting thing, Mom. I have enormous faith in you. Move past the slips and remember how easy it is not to smoke.
And knit/crochet your little fingers to the bone!
Love you. Hang in there!

Thanks for the pep talk. It is surprisingly easy not to smoke and tomorrow will be a better day. I have to find another crochet project, since I finished the scarf yesterday.
