So far it's been December for about 73 days. This day alone has lasted at least 37 hours and it's barely 7 pm. I've been watching bowl games forever and we seem to be no closer to the national championship than we were at Thanksgiving.
In knitting terms, it's been a Very Garter Stitch Year.
Endless rows of the knit stitch. No purls, no yarnovers, not even a nupp to liven things up. Every so often a short row to take you backwards and make you start over, back at the beginning.
And lest you think I'm speaking metaphorically, well, I am. But in a literal sense, everything I've knit lately has been garter stitch.
The aforementioned Color Affection. Garter.
Stripe Study. Garter.
The Brooks Farm Fifty Shades of Red vest. Modular garter. Well, you saw that the other day.
My last almost-finished project? The famous patchwork sweater that might actually be completed in 2013. Modular garter.
My last frogged never-to-be-finished project? The Jane Slicer-Smith vest that I will....I WILL....reknit in 2013 or possibly 2014 or beyond. Modular garter.
I am sensing a rut. And that I'm in it.
Oh, crap!
