Finally I can see Corinne's back emerging as I knit back and forth, back and forth, back and...you get the picture. I love garter stitch but straight knitting can get tiresome--doing the same thing, the same stitch, back and forth. Since I am not even half way across the back of the sweater (hope to get there today) it's still a long way to the right sleeve and front. The short row shaping is done in sets of 8 rows that encourage me to stop, sip wine, do a happy dance or just a moment of thankful meditation for yet another pattern set completed. Okay, so maybe I really do like the back and forth thing!
Other back and forth things I like:
* Old manual typewriters. I loved throwing that carriage across!
* Clocks with pendulums. They put me to sleep.
* Rocking chairs. The dogs beg me to rock them.
* Newton's Cradle. Useless but mesmerizing.

Are there back and forth things you enjoy?

This guy came to visit. He was waiting on the front door screen hoping to fly in and take a bite of something or someone. Sorry big guy--no vampires allowed! (Actual size)
Life is good.
