Okay so yesterday, I picked up my Aran square with the hopes of some relaxing and productive knitting time! What I discovered was that someone has been playing with my row counter...click, click, click....apparently it's irrisistable! So as I agonize over what row I left off on and begin knitting, I remember that I'd left this project for a while because somewhere, I'd made a mistake that's throwing the pattern off! I wasn't able to find it and thus walked away.
Lesson: a knitter's notebook is an invaluable tool!
Not to be deterred, and determined to make the most of my only opportunity to knit in maybe a month, I abandoned ship and picked up the lucious cotton/bamboo sweater that I'd started for Meag. After all, it was a gorgeous day today, I walked, we saved bunnies, cooked a fabulous and healthful dinner, it only made sence to pick up the organic bamboo! Once I got settled and looked at the pattern to see where I'd left off, I found a 3 x 3 piece of paper attached that read "ripped out 4 rows already; still can't find mistake. Find and correct or rip and start agian!"
Lesson: a knitter's notebook is an invaluable tool, but find the mistake before you put the project down!
Maybe today will provide me with more time, and energy to tackle my past! Let's hope so!

Day 52 - knitting drought....
I have not knit in over two weeks! I am so focused on finding a new job, learning some new technology and another major project that's all tied into the previous that I've not had any time for relaxing indulgences! This week was April vacation for me (not my kids though) and still I found no time to knit.
I have learned a lot of lessons though and there will be more to come in the upcoming posts!
