are you spying on me?
knitting is my new obsession. I am into week 4 of knitting, and I have 5 completed projects under my belt. The next one is well underway. a baby sweater. A few twisted stitches in the sleeve, but no major boo boos just yet.Just so that this doesn't get moved... I have found that I have about 4 different mental speeds + crisis
1 = sleeping
2 = restless but wish I were sleeping
3 = knitting, housework
4 = dissertatingand then reverse = splitting of consciousness and imminent self-destructive crisis.
so... I have gotten fairly good at spending most of my time at speeds 1,3,4. Using moderate amounts of self-help instropsection, provigil and klonopin to try to avoid the 2nd speed at all costs. THAT one sucks big time.
The crisis kind of caught me off guard though. Knitting was there, but it was far too fuzzy and cutesy to attract the attn of my demons.
