Well, anyone remember the ambitious goal I had for this year? Something about knitting three pairs of socks a month from stash yarn? And not buying new yarn?
I am proud to announce that there has been no yarn buying in this house. I have received gift yarn and BMF STR sock club yarn, we all know that does not count. I am however doing a fair amount of imaginary shopping, cruising Etsy and Astrid's Dutch obsessions. Not doing so well with the sock goal. March's' total is 1 pair, but in all fairness I knit the same pair of socks two times due to gauge problems.
I am beginning to suspect (quite strongly) that working full time my f* with my knitting goals. The first three days I brought knitting to do at lunch, but I haven't seen anyone actually sit to eat lunch. I don't want to buck the trend. I am really feeling food about the job, the clinical stuff came right back. I had a moment of panic before the first day, I was terrified that I might have forgotten how to be a therapist. Now I only fear the paperwork. I know that the logistics will fall into place. The kids at the school are great, during group we were talking about hobbies and mentioned knitting. Imagine how surprised I was that the eight boys in group got really excited and started talking about people in their lives who knit. I hope I can get back to knitting goals, and that I don't blow my first paycheck on yarn!

You sit down, eat your lunch and do some knitting. You'll start a trend and some conversation. Sock knitting seems to bring out the best in people as they just have to see what you are knitting.
Astrid's website is so tempting ... 2 orders from her already this year. Hey, someone has to not be on a yarn diet.
Hey, maybe you can teach the boys to knit!
Hi there
Would you mind posting your knitters treat questionnaire? My gmail is playing up and I can't email you properly at the moment about it. Please have a look at the knitters treat blog for the latest post about the questionnaire.
Thanks, Sara
My husband faced the same issues about "skills insecurity" recently. He had spent the past 5 1/2 years as a school president. He has a Ph.D. in Psychology and an MBA and used to work at the SW Virginia Mental Health Institute. He recently returned to the institute as a Psychology Supervisor and was concerned his therapy skills had deteriorated. It wasn't true, but ...
I pointed out to him that he had actually beeen the "therapist" for 150 teenagers, 70 staff members and one frazzled Network Director (me).
