We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements in life, when all we need to make us really happy is

something to be enthusiastic about. (Charles Kingsley)


I got tired of chasing the little yarn balls around when working on my What-Was-I-Thinking-It's-Never-Gonna-End Blanket, so I put together a mini swift using tinker toys at work. I don't know how practical it is, but I had fun making it. And it really does work.

I've finished 178 blocks so far this year, which means that I'm keeping up with my goal of knitting one block a day. I won't mention how I'm doing with any of my other goals, and I would appreciate it if your eyes did not wander over to the lack-of-progress bars on the side of my blog.
