Rainy Morning Knitting

It's raining this morning, and cool outside.  The house is quiet and I'm taking a little time for myself with my tea to enjoy the quiet.  I've got a list of things that need doing today and I'll get started on it soon, but for now, just now, the time is mine.

Knitting this sweater is a little like that.  The stitches are easy.  As long as I pay attention at the first of each row, I can knit on autopilot and just enjoy the feel of the yarn through my fingers and the play of colors as each row slowly stacks up.  It's peaceful, quiet knitting, but still easy enough to set down when I need to do other things.  For a few moments though, the time is mine.
