I'm trying really hard to have some phone free time of an evening. Some time that isnt spent playing a game or reading on my kindle. I never used to be bad on my phone but I think it's getting worse with the fact that I play lots of silly games on my phone but it doesnt help you switch off or sleep.
So as Carys had a random bag of wool from an art project, I've stolen some and am knitting. Now I'm not the best knitter and I had to get Carys to buy me needles (which are a bit on the thick side so I must go into town and get some more but they will do for now)
I've no idea what I'm knitting and its got both a hole and a dropped stich as well as having more than when I started! But it makes me happy - its also only done in knit because I'm not 100% sure how to purl.
My mum used to knit but she was fab and was known for knitting outrageous patterned jumpers which I'm going to have to go and ask my godmother if she has any pictures of. But it was the 80s so a quick google and I can see the kind of pattern she would have used.
Knitting keeps me off my phone, would love to learn how to crochet but I never have and can't quite understand how to do more than a chain so knitting it will be - although not when the cat is around as she thinks the wool is hers.
What do you do to keep yourself busy? And not on your phone.
Ffi
Generally, if I'm killing time I will either work on a jigsaw puzzle or a cross stitch project. And sometimes these "time killlers" take the place of doing the actual housework that needs doing!
ReplyDeleteCross stich I can also do. I think its just trying to do something that uses up wool that is just sitting there.
