What am I pondering at 3 am on a Sunday night? I am trying to find a knitting stitch that fits the parameters I require. My requirements are that it be reversible (the same on each side), easy enough to be memorized (no chart reading or extensive complications), and uses an even number of stitches. Oh, and I have to like it. The “liking” it part seems to be the hardest requirement to meet, of course.

Why am I awake at this hour pondering knitting stitches at all? I slept too much today, drank caffeine to late last night, am generally moody, and my weekend project from last weekend only got finished this weekend, and it was so hideous I refuse to show it to you. Therefore, I want to take it apart and start something better right away to get over the disappointment of a knitting failure I spent an entire week working on.

And will I be going to sleep soon? Seems to be no point doing so. I have to be up in two and a half hours anyway, and if I only get two and a half hours of sleep, I’ll just go right back to bed as soon as Lin leaves and sleep the day away anyway. Might as well go ahead and get done doing what I want to do and get the dishes and stuff done before I am totally worn out, and then I can take an extended nap when the need strikes. Or drink a lot of coffee and try to make it until a normal bedtime. I have completely screwed up my sleep cycle again, and the only way to fix it is to either sleep longer than an entire day or just be totally wired and fatigued at the same time for an entire day. As much as I personally wouldn’t mind going to bed for eighteen or so hours, that just isn’t feasible. So … naps or coffee it is!

Now back to looking at knitting stitches. Maybe it will bored me enough I will change my mind about getting just a couple hours of sleep. Never know, it could happen!
