1953
No, I haven't started reading an actual book for the Time Machine reading challenge. I got caught up in Rudee's suggestion for a Knitalong from that year. I went looking for 1953 knitting patterns...

On the other hand, a long piece of mind-consuming lace could be just what I need to take my mind off the otherproblems challenges I have on the community side of life. Too bad I can't even use the excuse of a paycheck for all this 'toil and trouble' on the job. This, too, shall pass but it's harder than a gallstone.

So sorry your community work is proving such a problem. You deserve to knit a beautiful pair of 1953 lace socks as compensation!
ReplyDeleteOh, goodness, sorry for your continuing problems. You really have a good and caring heart to do all this on a volunteer basis, hang in there! You need to knit something bright and cheerful!!! Maybe even wacky!
ReplyDeleteI too am sorry to hear of ongoing problems.
ReplyDelete"This too shall pass" is always a good motto.
And yes, I think that knitting those beautiful lace socks (even a shorter version of them!) would be the perfect antidote to the troubles.
Time to cast on!
I'm impressed with your potential endeavor into massive sock knitting. I think those would be beyond my patience. Can you show me something in a cute ponytail holder?
ReplyDeleteThose are amazing though and sort of racy in a way.
The lace would definitely help to take your mind off any problems. Sorry to hear of your "challenges" with the volunteer work but having done much of it I do understand.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see the sock/lace knitting!!! It will be beautiful! And a productive way to sort through life's bumps in the road.
ReplyDeleteYou are so 'punny'!
ReplyDeleteI think a pair of BRIGHT RED stockings would make everyone sit up & take notice of you!! Makes you wonder sometimes if the 'community' really deserves volunteers.
ReplyDeleteI could be in left field or barking up the wrong tree but sometimes a small break is necessary. I know for 5 years I was strong in volunteering running and running and was a someone, then when I stopped all of a sudden. I was a mer castaway no one had use for. The feeling is weighing the pay is lessening and the lesson is lingering. The ident word below is supress-hum
