How to make knitting exciting.

Sometimes, life just takes all the energy out of me. I get home from work lately, and I'm beat and the time flies.
I haven't gotten too much done on the sweater, when I'm not so sleepy I'll post a pic, it's actually turning out nicely. The only problem is that the only time I get up the energy to hold my arms up to knit is on the T for about two seconds. This is also why my pictures have been either nonexistent or totally lame. I promise it'll get better soon.

One thing I was thinking about with this blog thing is that it forces you to think about knitting exciting things. After all, there is a whole knitterly world judging your every knitting move. This makes me feel like I should be knitting fair isle in short rows with cables, and quickly. It gives knitting deadlines, or at least you start to feel lame when there's no time or desire to knit, even though you're crazy about it.

And yet it's totally worth it, to know that out there in the world there are other people who feel the same way that you do about something that a lot of people don't understand. The pressure I feel with the blog helps me expand my knitting boundaries, and links me with an international group of amazing people who are so creative that it makes me want to be very creative myself.

I think I'll start to give myself little blogging assignments to make this more interesting. Tomorrow I'm picking up the fabric for my quilt and I'll start the chronicling of my adventures in that. Also, I'll begin my preparation for the holidays! I'm starting to think about how I want to wrap my presents, decorate, gift, and celebrate, and I want to include you all in that :)
