Apparently, I really enjoy working in the round.
This weekend I decided to escape knitting brain to do some yard work. These days the kids usually mow the lawn, but I really like to do it, so I grabbed the mower while the grass was long and the kids were gone.
I mow weird.
The backyard gets mowed in a big circle. It’s basically a square, so I figure I save gas and turning time by just making a big bullseye, like this, before tidying up the corners:
Today I realized I could save time in the front yard, a big capital “L” shape with lots of obsticles, or more fondly worded, trees. I used to work back and forth, mitering the corners. But just now I employed the knitting technique of short row shaping to knock off those corners.
Instead of working back and forth, I could work this in the round, too. After all, if I am honest with myself, I prefer working in the round.
If I am really honest with myself, I see knitting brain and mowing brain are the same brain. I can’t escape. Help me.
Actually, leave me be. See the pretty things around me:
