Something I can do without. I'm generally a social person but that event is over the top. He thrives in those environments. Hope your weekend is going well,<BR/>LiLife's a Stitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05608285265611816717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443300355315157565.post-73855703190721420642008-05-30T09:55:00.000-07:002008-05-30T09:55:00.000-07:00Hmmm, maybe we are knitters because we don't like ...Hmmm, maybe we are knitters because we don't like interacting with humans, you think?

I don't feel all that capable of doing anything other than stockinette in the round when I'm stressed, though. So most of my hand knit socks are "plain vanilla".<BR/><BR/>What a beautiful hank o'yarn that is!

Mostly when you said you wouldn't crawl under the table in a fetal position I wondered "why not? Seems like the thing to do."<BR/><BR/>I'm at a bit of a knitting "what to do next" moment myself. i struggle between easy comfort knitting and the desire to be challenged. I might try the shrug.

It's probably a good thing that you do have someone to force you to socialize though. I have no one to do that for/to me and while comfortable, I'm not always sure it's a good thing.<BR/><BR/>Love that yarn! What a nice colour. Whatever you do next, continue with cool colours.
