Instead of tackling a new complicated project I just started yet another Truly Tasha shawl, which is garter stitch forever with an edging - but you can put that off for a long time by starting ANOTHER shawl just like it to be edged some day. Garter stitch is such a wonderful fabric and I like to knit it really dense since it stretches, and it looks SO good in variegated or "nearly solid" yarns. Garter on Girlfriend, Garter on!

I need knitting as therapy, knitting as a process. Knitting to soothe my soul. People complain about how boring garter stitch scarves are. I knit them all the time. They keep my unreasonably nervous self from from freaking out when I am on an airplane. So I say do what makes you happy! I’ve been knitting like this for a couple years now.

I say rejoice! I'm in the same boat.. my hands want something to do but my brain is too occupied with crap to be able to think much about directions. Isn't that why garter stitch was invented? *grin* Hey there! I say rejoice! I’m in the same boat.. my hands want something to do but my
