green.girl knitting: commentary
22 february 2012 lent
i'm giving up knitting for lent.
it is basically a selfish pursuit, though many others have benefitted from it, and it just felt right. it will give me more time to do other things around the house, things that need to be done, and it will give me more time to think and contemplate. and pray.
there are some knitting related things i will do -- i have two shawls to block and a sweater to mend, and maybe even some socks to darn if i decide to try and save them. i should go through all the stash, yet again, and decide how much is truly enough. and if i organize all the bits and bobs and bags floating around, i might actually find all my missing double-pointed needles. then i can knit socks after easter.

it has been slow and steady over here; i've knit three rows, at least, most nights.
so now it comes down to the age old question: do i have enough yarn for a few more rows?
the patterns calls for ending on a row that ends in 9. that means i either stop now or seven rows from now. and then i would need enough yarn for a scalloped stitch row and a bind-off row. i am thinking, at the moment, that i am good, but there is a tiny flicker of doubt that will no doubt be fanned and flamed as i knit each subsequent row.
wish me luck!
