Growing up, Knitting and a Contest

Have you ever noticed how some adults seem like they were never kids?
But we all were, once upon a time. These type of adults tend to intimidate me – of my own accord, since most of the time I feel more like a little kid than an adult. I yearn to have the responsibilities of a child, or I guess I should say lack the responsibilities of an adult.
The other day, one of the kids mentioned being bored. I had to retort with something like, “Imagine that!”, since I hardly remember what the word means. I always feel like I should be doing at least a million things at any given moment.
Even being “laid up” with my knee injury – I just never seem to get enough done.

And there are also adults that seem like they will never grow up completely. You know at least one of them, don’t you?

So, anyway – I have been knitting. Here are a few things that I have knit.

h5. CONTEST TIME

I’m coming upon a somewhat monumental post number here after 4 1/2 years of writing. Here in the comments, please submit guesses as to which number my next post will be and I will pick a prize to send. Either way it will be fiber goodness- the form will just depend on whether you are a knitter or not, since some of my readers do partake of the pointy sticks and some others do not.

So what is your guess?

  1. I’m going to guess 1,000 posts, which would a truly remarkable accomplishment, if indeed it were right. So if so, congratulations!!

  2. Love your kool-aid dyed. I’m going to guess 600. And, on the off chance I’m right (rarely happens if you ask DH & the kids), I DO partake of the pointy sticks! Going to do that now…

  3. Those are some great hat sets. Love the read and black. Creative use of the colors.

    I’ll guess it will be your 800th post.

  4. Using my stellar math skills, I guess 753 – though I can’t guess the importance of that number :)

    That’s a lot of writing! I love the earflap hat, by the way.
