Slowing Down and Appreciating Knitting

Recently my friend Erika posted that she was starting a really good looking sweater pattern on Facebook and I got all excited about yet another knitting project.  I am still working slowly on my Acer Cardigan pattern, but I got distracted by the idea of the Central Park Hoodie and suddenly wanted to start that too.  In a rather unlikely turn of events I managed to not buy new yarn and start a new sweater ... shocking.  I just decided to appreciate the pattern I was working on and spent a blissful 2 hours knitting yesterday evening with no TV and no music, just the sound of the knitting needles and the occasional swear word when something went awry.  Um, in the interest of total disclosure, I did buy two skeins of Malabrigo Rios for a new scarf.  Well ... it's progress anyway.
