This has been a pretty stressful week and not much knitting getting done. I had to frog my Clapotis, Peter's Marble sock #1 is still awaiting a try-on and toe decrease, and I have my Shetland Chunky sock #1 at about the same state. Right now all I feel like knitting is garter stitch on big needles, so I've been working a bit on the triangle shawl for Alison, in Bernat "Harmony". It's soft and pretty and I don't have to think about it.
I have a lot going on these days, and more coming soon, and I have to keep reminding myself that the knitting is for enjoyment and relaxation, so if I've only got the energy and focus for plain garter, that's okay. It's still knitting. I do need to start something simple for take-along knitting, though; while socks travel well, I don't really feel like doing socks. Maybe I'll start one of the Fun Fur scarves that Janice suggested. That will be good breaktime/lunchtime/appointment knitting, I hope. Or maybe a new circular hat. I could use a new hat, with fall coming on.
But, deadlines and knitting right now are Not Good, so I'm not pressuring myself for anything. You know what they say about pressure - it makes either diamonds or dust. Normally I tend to the diamond category, but this past couple of weeks I've been feeling dusty.
