Off the Wagon
Monday, June 18, 2007
In a fit of anxiety due to some extreme badness at work, I ordered a few skeins of Habu cashmere from Purl. It was not a healthy purchase. It was an impulse purchase. A pricey one. And although the yarn is gorgeous and I'm sure that I would have ordered it eventually, I don't like spending money as a knee-jerk response to any news, good or bad.
So my goal is this, to be able to take a few deep breaths and mentally take a step back from work. Because it's very easy for me to lose perspective when it comes to my job. And I don't want to start mixing yarn and anxiety. I want knitting just to be knitting.
On the knitting front, Grace has grown by about seven inches. Dead End is completely blocked. I was only able to complete a few rows of Little Mistake yesterday before my arms started shaking like a weight lifters. On the reading front, poor Antoine has flown his final mission and disappeared. What a very sad book.

There are a lot worse things you can do in reaction to bad news than buying yarn. Make something pretty with it, and bring it to work with you. - zuma
