My Mom used to say that I was the
best wool gatherer she knew. My ability
to daydream or just generally goof off is legendary! I love the fact that knitting gives me a
perfect excuse to go wandering in my mind even though wool gathering
and numbers do not seem to mix well. I can tell you that daydreaming and
accounting are breeds apart!! Anyway,
there hasn’t been any wool gathering going on lately.
End-of-year went smoothly except for the software glitch that was solved
with a little innovative action and now we are breezing into tax season with
hardly a crisis to show for it. That’s
the good news!!
The bad news is that year-end work
has left me little time for knitting.
Even at my desk (my favorite place to knit) it is hard to find a minute
to knit a few stitches. I think that
means that I am working with resolve as I once did so I can give the appearance
that I am not in the least interested in retirement. I like keeping people guessing!
Lately I’ve heard statements like, “I
haven’t heard you mention once how much you hate doing this. Why is that?”
Answer, “Oh, it’s not so bad.” DH
said, “You haven’t been complaining. I’m
proud of you!” Answer, “Thank you. I think it is important to just get the job
done. Complaining doesn’t solve
anything.” Ahhh, I love the look of complete
bewilderment on their faces!” If I can’t
be free to sit and knit I can at least play with their minds!
Nope no wool gathering is being done
here, but no knitting either. I’ve
started another pair of fingerless mitts and am working intermittently on the
peapod baby sack and matching hat for maybe 10-15 minutes a day and that’s
it. I hope the knitting deities will
forgive me because the wool gathering spirits are not even speaking to me right
now!!
Macy and Max had baths and are drying
in the sun. Max wants back in. I think he has work to do.
Life is good.

My knitting has been gathering dust the last few days.
The red fingerless mitt is lovely. Does the yarn have sparkles in it?
I tend to wool gather often since I retired, so once you take the plunge, you won't have any problems.
My girls need baths. I wanted Sissy to have one before she met the new vet tomorrow, but since we never made it above about 43... it didn't happen.
I don't have enough energy to daydream anymore. Boo!
Awwwww Max is uber adorable.
I Love the knit yarns you show in the first image!!!
You cant do everything...you just finished those hospital mitts!! Its just your TIME Of year Katherine.
I know you'll enjoy knitting away again.
Im proud of you for not complaining!! it is hard not to.
10 minutes a day of knitting is better than none!
