I am so damn happy with myself today.
As the amount of knitting around my house has increased, the amount of exercise has waned. Projects are addictive, even without the deadlines and and the design gig, but the designing means there's a little backlog even when I'm chugging along. And that makes it even harder to put down the current project and hmm...I don't know... assume the plank position or do a batch of situps(??) when I know I can now justify knitting the entire morning away.
Kicking the laundry and cleaning to the curb is one thing (kinda nice), but losing the exercise has been another, as the consequences are a little more personal. Let's admit it, the knitting is a bit sedentary, and really, things aren't what they used to be once winter cuts into the amount of incidental exercise happening around the sitting - the walking and gardening and other outdoor actuvity. It's all over as soon as the fire's on and the sofa calls, you know?
But now? Problem solved. My neighbor gave me this yesterday and because on this little baby, I can knit AND do completely brainless exercise at the same time. A notebook and pencils go on the table, and yarn goes in the cup holder.
It's genius, I tell you.
And it's not a moment too soon, because I need to put on a bathing suit NEXT WEEK.
