I’m too young for this

Although the big 3-0 looms closer, I do not see 30 as being old. I don’t see 40 as being old. 50 I take on a case-by-case basis, but frequently, not old.

Do any of you knitters out there have problems with your eyes? My eyes have been stable for a long time now, but recently, I feel my sight has gotten worse. More importantly, my eyes don’t change focus. If I’m knitting, and I look up to see the clock in the kitchen, I can’t read it. At all. If I blink, and look around for a minute and try again, I STILL can’t read it. In that same chair, if I haven’t been knitting, I can see it just fine. This focusing situation is worrisome. Am I the only one?

I finished the thing I was knitting yesterday. (How mysterious I am). It wasn’t nearly as annoying as the first one, so maybe it just took some getting used to. The thought of knitting more of them no longer fills my heart with dread. This is a good thing.

I get to work at the yarn store most of the day today as the owner has somewhere to be. It’s a very quiet shop, and I look forward enjoying a peaceful, calm day as well as amassing more store credit! Plusses all around.

You’re probably tired of my empty promises, but… Maybe I’ll start Cable-Eight!
