Ugh. Me. Impatient.

I've been trying to knit again. I started a sweater pattern. Then I remembered why I stopped knitting. And I also learned a whole new reason.

First, I am incapable of sitting still for long periods of time at home (unless I am watching television or a movie or a movie on the television). I am also not allowed to sit still for long periods of time at home (because my dog is an insane herding beast who interprets my almost stillness as "time to go annoy mom and make her interact with me and my tennis ball" time). And finally, my new reason, today I learned that I fucking hate circular knitting needles.

I will still try to knit some god damn socks, and maybe a new scarf or some shit that I can do on straight needles. But I swear, I am not interested in patterns that require circular needles. Lesson learned. They make me want to stab myself in the face with the pointy end.

  1. Why do you hate circular needles?

  2. Something about the plastic string that connects them gives me the willies...my skin is crawling just thinking about touching it.

  3. Oh, and I am being dramatic...I'll get over my hatred, eventually. For now, though, I'm sticking to the bamboo skull knitting sticks you got for me. They make me happy.

  4. Ha! Ha! That really made me chuckle.
