Lazy lazy lazy.

Sometimes, I swear I must be the laziest person on the planet. But for some reason, I still feel like I have no leisure time. Maybe I just don't know how to budget my time? I also don't think I get nearly enough sleep... 0_o Anyway, I just finished knitting a scarf for my father's birthday and it seriously wrecked my eyes. It had a kind of complicated color pattern that wasn't difficult to do, but it was tedious and it gave me quite a bit of eyestrain, to the point that I was worried that I wouldn't be able to finish it on time. I think it turned out well, but I can't take a picture because I'm TOO LAZY. I wish I were a cyborg. I wish I had a Time Turner. I have so many activities that I want/need to cram into one day, and even if I find the time, some part of my body gives out.

I hardly ever knit anything for myself--I got some worsted weight yarn from Knitpicks and my gauge turned out 1/4 inch too big on #9 needles, but I finally managed to go out and get #8(the only ones I'm missing in straight needles!)...I thought I'd be kind to myself and get bamboo needles(the #9 ones were lucite)...BIG MISTAKE! My gauge on the bamboo #8 needles is the same as the #9 lucite! I guess I knit that much looser on bamboo, huh? I feel bad going down 2 needle sizes(is this normal?) but my most recent gauge swatch was kind of...holey. So, in theory, I should be able to use my #7 bamboo needles without a problem. In theory. In reality, I just had to start knitting that lace scarf for Mother's Day on those very needles...and it's not like I can take it off and put it away for a while, I'd probably wreck it. So I guess I'm just gonna have to finish that damn lace scarf, huh? Even though I just wanted to do my stupid all in stockinette with no stupid eyebreaking endless pattern stitches cowl neck sweater...

And on the other hand, what am I thinking, knitting and knitting and knitting to the point that my eyes are constantly bothering me, and never taking a break?
