"I enjoy knitting because it's simple and works up at a nice pace," I tell the world, I tell myself.

After all, I have only been working on this project for months... years?

Perhaps I never started. And, oh, Lord knows there will never be a time when this project is finished.

I think, I remember, I dive deep into the depths of my psyche—alas, I cannot recall a time where my WIP was not present.

"Yes, I knit rather quickly!"

Me: I can't talk right now I'm doing hot girl knitting shit

Also me: *spends hours scrolling my phone looking at the spectacular work of everyone else instead of, like, idk. Knitting myself? Or something?)

Why actually get some knitting done when you could cruise Tumblr for hours looking at pictures of other people’s knitting?

December 4, 2020: 250 puffs! There’s really only one way to photograph this thing, huh? I’m going to try to mix it up some more for 300. But so happy with it! Going to look so crazy when it’s done ✌️

My mom is 100% knit worthy-

My mom is a retired speech pathologist. For her entire professional career, she would make the long 50 minute commute to Harrisburg, PA to teach children with severe speech impediments, how to talk. Every day, for 40 years she spent almost every single night writing lengthy evaluation reports that would sometimes take hours to complete, making it so she would be up until 1 or 2 in the morning and some nights she would fall asleep with her computer on her lap. But my mom never let her work take over the time she spent with her family. She was always home by 5:30, and had dinner on the table by 6:30. She never missed one of my sister lacrosse or field hockey games, and she was always at any art exhibit I had or able to take me to any art class I was enrolled in. In 2017, my mom retired. She wanted to spend more time with her grandchildren, and when the pandemic hit last year, she came back out of retirement to take over the full time remote learning our daughter, Paige was enrolled in so Mark and I could continue to work. Every day, my mom comes at 7:30 in the morning, to pick up Paige, and sometimes Grayson, to selflessly give up her well earned retirement years to help her daughter and son in law to continue to provide for their family. My mom is 100% knit worthy. This Christmas, I’m gifting her this sweater. The pattern is: “Manou” by @lilalu72 in our Homestead Worsted “Poppy” (CC) & @jillmakesstuff “Kingston”.

Thank you, to all of the hard working educators out there, retired and still working, alike. You guys are heroes and are absolutely 100% knit worthy.

Love you mom. https://www.instagram.com/p/CIdg6ehBENU/?igshid=1r6hjn9e0yq4v

Another 5 inches this week. End of semester blues mean knitting while watching my hero academia seems far preferable to doing any of my (many, many) assignments

Praying that I don't spill on this 40 year old hand knit sweater passed down from my husbands grandmother ❤
