Knitting and Everything Else

Trying to write about Asperger's Syndrome and other things that irritate me hasn't been working. It's just too dark, depressing and...irritating. So I'm going to try writing about things I enjoy...at least sometimes. One thing I enjoy presently is knitting, so I'll be writing quite a bit about that. I'll still be writing about Asperger's, politics and many other things. All of it is part of me and it's not going away.
But this is part of me too. So let's run it up and see what happens.

Here is my main knitting project at the moment.

Hopefully it will one day be a sock for my husband. It's big, but so is his foot. And he likes a loose fit. I'm knitting it on a size 1 cable needle using the Magic Loop method. The yarn is Cascade Fixation. I've read about Fixation almost being sock yarn heaven but this is the first time I've tried it. So far I'm really enjoying it. The stretch makes it quick and easy to knit. Also, it's more forgiving of my uneven stitches.

My knitting is loopy, just like me. Today I was watching a commercial for an upcoming movie. Three people are in a car. They're being stopped by police when the driver yells "Pretend you're normal!" He must know me.
