I am being silly. I want to do so many things that I’m managing so achieve absolutely nothing.
Switching on the computer to give beSottied a bit of a spruce up results in ten minutes of drooling over gorgeous websites made by professionals whose skills far exceed my own, before going onto Neopets to play 40 consecutive games of Hasee Bounce.
Thinking about knitting anything of my own design ends with me faffing about with numerous tension squares and accomplishing little else.
Checking my email reveals many fantastic discounts on Viagra pills, which I am (foolishly, I’m sure) not taking advantage of.
The type of mood I’m in, I daren’t get started on the Amy Butler bag I mentioned in my last post: the cut pieces of fabric will just end up languishing, lonely and unloved, in a creased John Lewis carrier bag for weeks.
But, as is often said, I want solutions, not problems! In order to get myself out of this funny mood, I’m setting myself a challenge.
A 24-hour challenge, no less.
I am going to see if I can knit another Grace Lace beret by this time (3 pm) tomorrow.
I’m using white RYC Extra Fine Merino DK from my stash and I’m not going to mess about checking my tension. Oh no. I’m just going to go for it, all guns blazing.
Will I do it? Only time will tell. Hold on to your hat, and await news of smug success/pathetic failure!
(PS, I got my hair cut yesterday and I now have a full-on fringe (bangs). I would take a photo but I’m not very good at styling it yet. It’s quite angular. Maybe in the next week or so!)
I know exactly how you feel!! Started a blog as per your advice and have neglected to blog for ages!! have been a little productive in that time but find myself with a distinct lack of time (new job etc)and need to establish a new routine which includes time to do things for me!!!!!
Hope ur beret progress is good, altho I know have another item to add to my ever growing “I can make that” list. LOL!!
Look forward to the next instalment!

So…..?
Did you manage it in 24 hours?!

Did you manage? I know how you feel, I too have to finish the new ole website. My task for today is to crack on through my to-do list for it, unfortunately, it just keeps getting longer!
Aloha! Unfortunately I didn’t meet my deadline: I went to the cinema on Saturday night and out for a big ol’ walk on Sunday morning, which had a negative impact on my knitting time. I’m up to the crown decreases though: not too shabby! I’ll post photos and a blog entry later x
