4 Jan : Resolution


On the first day of January MrsM packs away the large cable throw that she has been knitting with a sigh. It has just got to the stage where it covers her knees while she knits which makes the whole experience very cosy but MrsM must leave her comfort zone because there is a knitting emergency to attend to: the Lovely Jenny is expecting a baby. MrsM turn to her Motivation Guru who advises small, achievable goals so MrsM is going for four rows a day. Leo also suggests an Accountability Crew and MrsM co-opts MrM to keep her on track although she is not sure that MrM will permit her to dump a bucket of ice over him if she misses her target for the week. Finally, Leo emphasises the importance of being curious about failure but MrsM is not going to allow herself this luxury because there are only two months to splash-down in March. Thank heavens it is a leap year and there is an extra day in February.

  1. rather depends if the ice comes with G&T and a couple of slices of lime rather than lemon ...

    1. Don't be picky. If life brings you lemons in your G&T be grateful.

  2. I think that would be a bit of a waste of G&T MrM....

    1. I am sure there is a market for G&T flavoured shower gel.

  3. A baby is surely the best reason ever in the whole world to be knitting! :-)

    1. Especially when it is a dear friend who is expecting the baby.

  4. Crikey, I would need G&T through a drip if I had to knit anything other than a square by March. It took me about 6 months to knit two squares for a baby blanket that my mum valiantly finished off quickly.

    1. I knit in order to look busy when I am sitting on the sofa.
