My schedule is really starting to work out these days and it's a great feeling. Every morning I get up, make my coffee, sit down and get to work. I truly believe that picking up my knitting again has re-centered my focus so I can concentrate on all the little tasks I do online every day.
This photo was taken about 30 minutes ago and I'm donning the hat I am currently working on. It's gonna be one of those cute little slouchy numbers and I just hope I end up wearing it, unlike most hats I knit for myself. For some reason I end up just wearirng them around the house and never outside. It's like I don't trust my knitting to be warm enough or something.
Incase you're curious about how things are going on the financial front around here, it's still pretty much the same but with a dim light at the end of the tunnel. Once we get the rent squared away, we just might be able to go out and treat ourselves to something fun.
For instance, the fella and I have not yet celebrated his return over a month ago. No dinner or movie dates. I'm a firm believer in having these dates atleast once a week, even if it's just being silent in the movie theater. The walk to and from allows us to concentrate on eachother as opposed to when we're sitting around the house with multiple things to distract us.
I know, we could just take a walk, but you haven't met the fella. That's really more of a nuisance then a pleasure trip. I'd rather take walks alone most of the time. And frankly, I might be annoyed if I were him too because a walk for me consists of stopping to take a photograph every few paces.
No, I cannot leave the house without my camera.
So, with the beautiful fall weather we have around here these days, things are starting to fall into place. This of course is leaving the state of the economy aside. Let's try not to think about that for a little while, okay?








Love the hat (so far). The photo made me laugh as it loaded on my screen.
I'm so glad things are settling down a little in Brooklyn. Everything feels so crazy in the world right now that I intend to follow your advice and just set it aside for a few days, and enjoy the stellar weather that is FINALLY here. We,, after the debates are over...
That is a really cool hat! Can you make me one in purple? Exactly like that though, with the thingies sticking out :-)
Your wish is my command.
P.S. I would totally make you hat for real.

I started two hats in early August. One is coming together but I don't really care for it. And the other, um, I don't want to talk about it. I adjusted the number of stitches but apparently failed to accommodate the ribbing pattern. I've pulled it out three times. And I officially have decided this hat needs to be ignored for now.
BTW, those double points? Yeah, I drop a stitch every effing TIME.
Ugh, it took me awhile to get used to DPNs. Have you considered using two circulars? I have a friend who HATES dpns and only uses the dual circular method.
I wanna seeeeeeeee!
