Let me say that it was quite a shock to learn that I don't knit the correct way! Apparently ( and this comes from teaching myself) I have been knitting tbl this whole time! My dear friend noticed this (as I don't have any knitting buddies that ever see me knit) and I laughed and felt a bit sheepish...I am currently retraining myself to knit correctly...no twisted stitches for me! On the upside, I won't have trouble knitting tbl on patterns! And let me just say the difference in material is amazing!
I also made my first Icord last night...I was SO excited when it worked! I really am lacking motivation for Christmas gifts...I had this whole plan of what to make for whom (who?) and I just lost interest! My mom's gift has fallen off the wagon....especially knowing that I could have a much smoother FO if knitted CORRECTLY...and the dishcloths that everyone would receive...well..let's not talk about those. Simple projects bore me apparently!
On another note...I thought I was doing ok with the no baby thing...but I found out in the last week that not one, not two but THREE of my friends are expecting...granted, two of them are more aquaintances than the other one, but it just is so frustrating. I am trying so hard to give this desire to God but it's very hard. I might just be overly tired, but I have tears trying to get out and I don't want them too! BACK foul melancholic beast!!
