No Knitting Mojo

My knitting mojo is on vacation. I could not knit at all on Sunday or Monday. This morning I was trying to work on a toy for one of my dogs for Christmas and I had to rip it up twice! God, how depressing, I could not get more that 7 rows either time. Actually, I might have ripped it up 3 times. Uff Da.
I had a therapy session today and I always feel better after I talk to her, so hopefully tonight I will be back in form. I have my Knitter’s Guild meeting tonight, so we will see. I will be working on CD’s Christmas socks. I have 2 inches of ribbing. I think I will stop there. The pattern calls out 3 inches, but that seems like a lot of ribbing. I do not think any of his other socks have that much ribbing. Does it matter how much ribbing you have on socks? I have to say, I get really bored with 2x2 ribbing, although it is better than 1x1 ribbing.
CD moved all my yarn upstairs so my in-laws do not see it. So my area looks naked and that makes me sad as well. I like to be able to reach over and just pull out yarn and fondle it. I know… it is a sickness!
I do not know if it will even be able to come back downstairs until after the holidays. We are going to set up the Christmas tree where my chair currently resides, so there will not be room for all my yarn. Well, actually I did not have all my yarn down there, just the stuff I was “working” with.
I have a ton of stuff to do tonight. I have to pick up a pie and beer and wine for Thanksgiving dinner. I do not actually do any of the cooking (my husband cooks everything), but I have been tasked with delivering the aforementioned items. I came into work late and will have to leave on time (or a little early) to be able to get everything done before I go to the Guild meeting. I suppose I don’t have to go to Guild, but they are going to talk about machine knitting. I do not think I will ever use a machine to knit, but I have my grandmother’s machine in my attic and I want to know what to do with it.
I joined a new blog ring (I am not sure of the correct blogging term). It is called Knitting with Classics. In December we are reading Dickens’s “A Christmas Carol” and then we knit something that goes with it. It will be too much fun. I love “A Christmas Carol”. I will keep you up to date what I am knitting for the book and I will also try to put an update on that blog as well.
