the knitter who cannot manage to post on a weekly basis. I have been knitting, oh yes I have, although since I am engaged in "super top secret project" it is hard to post about it. It is true, I have not been knitting as ferociously as I have done in previous months as I have been a great deal busier.
Odd, I used to work 32 hours a week, worked out at least an hour a day after work, had a full day off mid week, knit, engaged in knittinng fantasy, blogged and engaged in blog reading at least two to three hours a week. And there was still time in the week to complain.
Now I take class twice a week, spend between 9 and 14 hours a week in the darkroom(at school), spend countless hours a week composing photographs (both on paper in a conceptual manner, and by actual shooting in a practical manner). I also spend time in museums and galleries looking at photos. I work on the play that I am directing. Research on the web and in libaries. And those 3am wakeful times when all my good ideas come flooding into my brain. Guess what - there are not enough hours in the day to be, do, think, and still knit, let alone complain about anything!
But I still knit. I those in between times. Knitting does allow me a time to think; think about photos that I want to take, think about blocking and characterizations, beats and lighting cues (Christy will understand).
I hope to continue to post in a timely fashion. Perhaps when these new enthsiasms sink in and become part of me I will find more time to blather about knitting. But now as we head into the holidays, and finals, and casting, and rehearsals... I may be doing more knitting and less writing about knitting. Garland might even stand a chance - after all stockinette is great for thinking.
