I, like one or two other people in the world, have stress in my life. Sometimes I cope better than others, but for most of my life I’ve been aware that I’m a procrastinator. Lately, to temporarily free myself from the stress created by this procrastination (and also to fuel it), I’ve been knitting.
The stress - buying my first house and having to pack-up and move out of my apartment in the coming days.
The method of escape - a pair of grey wool socks (the second sock, specifically).
Every time I start to feel the looming deadline of yet another task that needs to be completed, I find myself reaching for my project and thinking “just a few more rounds and I’ll be ready”. Ha! I’ve been powering through the cuff of this sock, but my cats still haven’t been taken to my parents’ house for the week, and my refrigerator remains uncleaned. I’m so glad I’ve found knitting in my life. This is the most productively I’ve ever procrastinated!
As an aside, the first sock I knit using my own pattern went quite well. I’ve made a few adjustments to the pattern, but I’m pleased with the result. I think I’ll post my pattern once this pair of socks is finished, blocked, and passes my final approval :)
