Accomplishment
Last night, in an attempt to make the crazed cramming I'm doing bearable, I mastered what I can only call an artform.
I learned how to knit and read at the same time.
This feat, of course, requires that I only knit around and around, which is fine since I've just changed the Homespun Cardi to a Homespun Pullover a la EZ...round and round she goes. I am flirting with the idea of knitting in a pouch pocket, so that might require a bit of non-reading knitting, but I don't much care. And if I finish this sweater, there's a boatload of Wool-Ease from the big box o'acrylic that will do nicely for another bout of mindless round and round knitting.
Life is getting better every day.

Knitting while reading has been the only way I've stayed at all sane while reading for my Major Field. It also goes a long way toward helping me stay awake while reading -- I have a horrible tendency to nod off repeatedly, even if I'm interested in what I'm reading. If I'm knitting that doesn't seem to happen.

Ooh. What a talent. I would love to be able to read and knit. I have contemplated books on tape and reading. Perhaps I will have to give it a try.
