Does your knitting creep into your nightmares? I had a knit-mare a few nights ago.
In the dream, I had unraveled my new holiday party sweater and started knitting something else with the yarn: a plain, shapeless cardigan with no character or style. Such a depressing transition. And I don’t think it was even intended to be for me. My dream-self felt very sorrowful about this change, but also very virtuous. I was like a nun renouncing worldly things.
*Heavy dream sob.*
This morning I woke up and was surprised to find the sweater still on my shelf. I felt pleased, but also oddly disappointed. My virtuous knit-halo was gone.
Does your knitting invade your dreams?
A couple of weeks ago I dreamt about my knitting. I was making a hat on straight needles and I was so mad at myself because I know how to knit in the round so why wasn’t I doing it like that. Needless to say I cast on a hat the next day, in the round.
Hah. Its so frustraring to think about unnecessary seaming.
LoL … I have been known to sit straight up in bed in a frantic search for my knitting! 😉 ♥ ❤
All the time … but usually it’s when I’ve gone to bed with a knitting problem on my mind. Sometimes I actually dream the solution. Other times, I just wake up and accept the fact that I’m going to have to frog all or part of the problem to get back to where the problem began.
It’s odd that I haven’t had more knit-mares. Because when I’m awake I have all sorts of anxiety about frogging and other such things.
