My blood pressure has skyrocketed since Wednesday, and it’s all because of knitting. I took my first knitting class on Wednesday and it’s one of the least relaxing hobbies I’ve ever started. There’s nothing calming about casting on ten stitches then noticing you have twelve three rows later. Since Wednesday I’ve knitted and purled the same length of yarn over and over again, screwing it up and unraveling the whole thing because I don’t know how else to fix it. I’m supposed to go back today for extra help. I graduated from high school and college with honors and now I need a remedial knitting class. I don’t know how I’m going to knit a pair of mittens in the next three weeks.
At least I’m a good cook.
