And a new project. I cast on for a small bag with stripes in many different shades of red. I am trying to make up the pattern as I go along. I know this is not a very good idea. I cannot help myself. It is a bit like getting to know a new acquaintance. For the first couple of hours I am not sure if I will make a friend or foe.

It does a good job in keeping me from thinking too much about work. And all those little chores my boss will have invented for me when I come back to work om monday. *aargh* My kid has been sick for a week. I worry, I am the kind (of, mother, daughter, friend, colleague and lover) that worry.

Knitting is a kind of meditation for me. I am not fond of knitting while watching TV. I want my knitting to be either all-consuming or fast and productive.
