I have to say I am a fairly lazy knitter, though. No Sharon Miller masterpieces for me, I'm afraid.

And yes, the fly-along-without-looking is helpful, too.<br /><br />And I don't know, somehow, when I can say, "Wow, I finished a pair of socks in how long?" and know the sense of accomplishment, it toss a bit of "success-feeling" into the realm of challenges - even if I might not be as successful there - so ... I can say to myself, every little success breeds a little more of it...<br />And there's hope I'll master the challenges at hand...<br />:)<br />(((Hugs)))Nana Sadiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13337300042637714815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3105432749747104284.post-67518062060345338352009-04-24T11:41:00.000-07:002009-04-24T11:41:00.000-07:00I am on a stockinette run too and I love it :)I am on a stockinette run too and I love it :)Rachelhttp://www.knittingintranslation.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3105432749747104284.post-29895966060640076002009-04-23T23:17:00.000-07:002009-04-23T23:17:00.000-07:00I find it gives you a chance to unwind and still b...I find it gives you a chance to unwind and still be soing something productive.

I won't have time for other knitting but I can't write nothing until after June 4! Hopefully I'll get some good knitting-related objects for my birthday this weekend! And then Mother's Day in mid-May! Just as well I have a KAL going!!

When I'm too busy or my creative energies are required elsewhere, plain, mindless stockinette is what sees me through.

Instead, I sit and 'coax' him through his homework, which requires knitting that can happen while I'm otherwise occupied. And bathtime is usually for folding and putting away clothes. Or getting the junk mail into recycling/shredding. Or washing dishes. Or...Gwenhttp://laflaka.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
