All I want to do....

is KNIT. My fingers have been screaming for needles all day. I have been doing interesting stuff all day, but nothing that involves yarn or needles or patterns. There is nothing unusual about this, but for some reason, TODAY I want to knit. Knit, knit, knit far into the night. Socks and the shawl and the belt.... and just feel the yarn over the needle making its little loops and emerge with whole garments out of a single strand of string passing between my fingers. I want to knit something super complicated and hard and beautiful. (It didn't help that the spring issue of knitty came out today -this is the only thing I will consider making out of it though). I wonder whether this urge is somehow hormonal - like maybe some women go through a periodic creative "need" or something, or maybe it's just me. Or maybe it's the good side of my path of disintegration (FOUR) coming out, which is good. If that was confusing, read this book- it's lifechanging. I often think that my path of disintegration really is disintegrating for me, but that there are many good things about four, things to be desired, and sometimes, I "disintegrate" toward things that are actually positive. I could go on and on. But for now, all I want to do is knit. Oh by the way, I finally turned the heel and am onto the foot of my first pomatomus sock. Yay me!
