More Than I Bargained For

When you knit in public, do you often have people come up to you and say things like, "I wish I could learn to knit, I just don't have the patience."?

As a knitter talking to non-knitters, it's the thing I hear the most.  Ironically, I usually follow with a response something like this,  "I'm probably the least patient person you will ever meet in your lifetime.  This is the reason I must knit."

Never has this been so true as in the past week as I patiently wait for baby number two.  Since Elise was a few days early, I never expected to make it to my due date.  When I did, I was astounded.  Now, almost a whole week later, I sit thinking that this baby will never actually come out.

The answer to all my problems?  Just cast on another day-long project.  Maybe a little something like this:



Joe was teasing me the other night because he swears I am working on a new project every time he looks at me.  There is probably some truth to that statement.

So, for those who were expecting a baby post, sorry to disappoint- at least when this baby arrives it will have more hand knits than we originally bargained for!
