Nothing Up My Sleeve..

We are back on schedule here at Sheepish Annie's House Of Knitting And General Mayhem.  After falling off the rails a bit last week due to a rather poorly timed headache, I returned to my regularly scheduled participation in the Summer Of Compensatory Knitting Socialization (S.O.C.K.S.) program.  The curriculum is rigorous and, while a sick day is allowed every now and again, it is not encouraged.  If I am going to spend my winters knitting in solitude and losing all ability to interact with the human race, then I must use the summers to re-learn all this stuff.  That's just how it is.

Plus, what with being a knitting group and all, it's a really good place to go knit.  I wasn't knitting a sock, though.  I don't know exactly what it was I was knitting, but I can say for certain that it wasn't a sleeve.  Nope.  Not a sleeve.  Because that would imply that I was working on The Thing That Will Never Grow Up To Be a Sweater and that I was doing so in full view of the public.  This is really just spitting in the face of The Blog Sweater Curse that has so plagued me the last few years and I would never do such a thing.

I admit only that it was a tube with a cuff and that there is another one sitting in the knitting basket waiting to be attached to a bigger tube.  That's all I'm saying.

It was nice to be back at The Yarn Sellar after missing out last week.  Attendance was impressive and extra chairs were needed.  There were just oodles of opportunities for being socialized!  

As pleased as I was to be back in the knitting community again, not everyone was as thrilled by my decision to leave the house.  There are those who find this to be rather upsetting, traumatic even.

Separation Anxiety doesn't know from sleeves.  

I'm looking into maternity leave from my teaching position for the fall.  I don't see any way I can go back to work.  I'm sure they will understand...
