Procrastination

These last few weeks I've slipped back into old habits. . . procrastinating habits. As school and thoughts of a possible future "real job" pick up and need more of my time, I find that my capability to multitask is diminishing. I can focus on papers and job thoughts (though actual job hunting is a stretch), but really only at the expense of my knitting and other hobbies. In short-- I've been slacking on knitting and working out.

I'm going start changing things this week though. I'm going to get the flat on my bike fixed and go on some bike rides. I'm going to drag my butt over to my step class and I'm going to do more yoga. Oh, and I might go rock climbing, too. . .

So, that gets my exercise back on track. Now for knitting. That mystery item in the orange/yellow/white yarn is almost 3 weeks overdue. And the worst part is it's been mostly done except for finishing for most of those 3 weeks. I still have a little glimmer of hope to get this pattern published somewhere, and I think that's partially why I'm taking so much time to finish and photograph this little thing perfectly. It really is almost done, though. SOON.

The funny thing is, at my busiest is when I tend to feel the most ambitious in my knitting. I have several things I want to knit, and I want to do them all RIGHT NOW. I know I can only accomplish so much at a time, so I'm going to just pick whichever projects speak to me most and cast on for those. I think I'll keep it to three projects.

So my goal for today? Finish that orange mystery thing and swatch for either the Printed Silk Cardigan or Slyph Cardigan!
