Enough!
It's been pretty quiet around here at KnitDarling because I've been busy working away on some super awesome top-secret designs for my upcoming book. I'm so excited about each one, and it KILLS me that I can't share them with you.
With the "half deadline" for my book just around the corner, I have been knitting up a storm –like an F5 tornado type storm (you Okies know what I mean). I have to hand over 1/2 of my patterns along with the samples in less than a month. Since I also have a full time day job, I have had to adjust my schedule to fit in the mountain of extra work. I wake up early to knit with my morning coffee; my needles are in hand during my subway commute every day; I'm busy during my lunch break, and I'm usually stitching away until midnight or later every night. I'm not complaining; I'm just happy that I finally have an excuse for this behavior!
My darling husband has been very patient, but the other night after a marathon knitting session that went far past bed-time, I found this New Yorker cartoon placed on my pillow:

Do you think he's trying to tell me something? I'm thinking a vacation might be in order.
When is your favorite time to sneak some knitting in? I love to get up early before my husband to watch the sun-rise with some coffee and a lap full of yarn.

over 12 years agoThis is hilarious! I'm quite sure my husband feels the same way sometimes. I love to wake up early (well, early-ish) on a Saturday and knit while drinking coffee. Good luck with your book!

over 12 years agoI'm excited to hear you have new patterns coming out! My favorite time to knit is between 6-8:30 am on Saturday and Sunday, especially in the summer when it's already light out.

over 12 years agoCan't wait to see your new designs!! Your husband has a cute and humorous way to let you know about his feelings :). My husband also makes fun of me when I have an intense knitting fever. The thing is that I love knitting all the time, though I don't go out with my knitting (I think my husband would not find it very funny! I am confident that your new patterns will be awesome!

about 12 years agoHaha! I definitely loose track of time when I'm knitting in the morning too. Though, since I've started knitting on my lunch breaks, I'm way more likely to put my project down in the middle of a row.
