Baby Blanket Surprise

I've been near constantly knitting up a baby blanket for Maya, but lately it just is not going well. I think I've ripped out more rows than I've knit this week. The pattern is just gorgeous and I am so in love with it but when an error is made you don't find out about it for 2 more rows. And I’ve been doing most of my knitting late at night when I’m too tired. This makes for many mistakes.

The thing that surprises me most about my knitting lately is how peaceful I am while I’m knitting. Seriously. Anything else that I do that I make this many mistakes in would have me foaming at the mouth; but while knitting I'm all "whatevs". And on I go.

Today however I have decided to just put. away. the. blanket. I will now cast on my Alice Cullen Fingerless Gloves finally. Sure they won't be done for tomorrow’s viewing of New Moon (squee!!) but they will be started enough for me to take on the plane on Saturday.

My massage therapist yesterday couldn’t stop gushing about how relaxed my muscles seem. She kept saying that if she didn’t know better she would think my shoulders where from a whole new person. After thinking about what I’ve changed this past month I couldn’t come up with an answer.

I haven’t started exercising. Work is just as busy and stressful. My medical ails are just as sucky.

But today when I picked up my knitting I realized right away that the answer is obvious.
