The ruler is out

Feverish knitting has started.
You'd think I would have started the feverish pace sooner but I believe in "it will get done when it gets done. I believed in that unitl I heard from Girl Beast. "Doesn't look like you have a lot done. You got Baby's sweater done but you aren't going to finish mine?" I argueed back that she at least got her mittens which Baby Boogie hadn't yet. I didn't get any words back. I got the pouty lip and she walked away.

She's good that one. 6 years old, she knows.

I was knitting round and round Knit 3, purl 1, Knit 3, purl 1, Knit 3, purl 1,....So I got out the ruler. I can look at this sweater and know that it's not 12 inches long.I know this. Yet for some reason in my little pea brain I keep hoping that the sweater has magically grown without my eyes being able to discern the growth. I pull out the measuring tape. Somewhere back in my skull I hear "come on 12 inches!"

6 SIX
We feel let down.

Then I hear from the same place "What about a cropped sweater? Cropped sweaters are all the rage. Just look at the stores, they're filled with cropped sweaters for kids."

Cropped means short and I don't need my little girl's belly hanging out. Sweaters are supposed to be comfortable and warm. You better knit faster.

I'm not above arguing with myself. Nor am I above acknowledging the little people in my head as another body and calling ourselves "we". Not at this point in the season.

I better be knitting (or getting my work day done early) instead of on this computer. Knit faster. 4 days.
