I have a new found love. I can't really explain it, but I love it anyway. I have crocheted, sewn, and now have moved to knitting. To me, knitting is very relaxing. I have ADHD, but it keeps both my hands moving enough that all I really think about is that I need knit faster or spend more time doing it to get done what I am trying to do. This is after only spending 2 days to knit a really long scarf.
I had wanted to learn to knit several years ago and bought one set of knitting needles (which is no where near enough for what I want to do now), but felt after a few attempts that it was too hard. I didn't think that I would ever find the time to learn. Now I find that I have a lot more time than I thought to knit, and that it is very relaxing for me.
Of course my scarf that I made was very simple. I didn't really look into the different stitches that I could try. I also felt that it would be better to practice the basics first. Two days knitting, and I already have 3 knitting books coming in the mail this next week. After my husband's next paycheck I am going out to get a bunch of different sizes of needles, and a lot of yarn. I only have 1 ball of yarn.
I find myself amazed at how excited I am about knitting. Last night I finished that scarf, and I have been thinking all day about knitting. How did I not know about this wonderful craft before? What ever could have made me think that I would never be able to do it? Why am I not doing it right now? What will I do with my free time now that I am practically out of yarn, and how can I survive the next two weeks until I get more?
Okay.... I am obsessing just a little, but I haven't ever really had any hobbies that I could really feel myself actually wanting to stick to. I can't wait to get more yarn and try something a little more challenging.
