I should get more sleep.

My husband will crack up when he sees this because, when he’s home, I generally get eight hours (without which, you really don’t want to be around me…really). When he’s gone, though, I putter. I am able to putter my circuitous way around the house, putting up pictures, making things right, gradually going through drawers and filling boxes with Things To Go Elsewhere–not that they ever GET there…
If he were here it would only make him nervous. So. I save the putter for his trips.

But then, while puttering, I’ll glance at a clock and see that it’s nearly eleven p.m. and I’ve not knitted or woven or spun or…anything. And I get rather jittery and my hands start to twitch. And I stop whatever I’m doing pretty much mid-stream, and sit and knit. Or weave. Or something.

I’ve found that without question I sleep better after knitting etc. at night. I imagine it’s something about the Alpha Waves or some such thing, but whatever it is, it works for me. Right now I’m in catch-up-sleep mode, Andrew having just returned, and I should take a nap. But instead, I’ll probably finish warping the loom for the Huck Lace table runner.

So goeth the nap.

The runner had better be worth it!

OffTN: Syd’s Horcrux Sox
OTN: Victorian Lace Sox, MS#3, Pomotomus (I’m so polygamous with my knitting…must be the influence of HBO’s Big Love–Andrew will be glad it stops at knitting).

Oh, and speaking of Big Love, if you have HBO watch I Have Tourettes but Tourettes Doesn’t Have Me.
