I've become convinced that my life will be significantly better if I knit Salt Peanuts from Interweave Spring 2004. I'm not sure why I'm convinced of this, but I am. I sort of get this way about things. I think that part of what's fueling is the obsession is the fact that the recommended yarn has been discontinued, so finding a substitute has become the manifestation of all that could be in my life.
Luckily, one of two things happens when I get this way. 1) I solve the problem getting in the way of the fulfillment of obsession (wrong yarn, not knowing enough people to get a regular poker game together, that he doesn't even know I exist). 2) I obsess for a period of 2 weeks to 2 months and then get over it.
I like the accupuncture. My thumbs really feel great when I get done. My hands sorta hurt, but the thumbs feel good. I'm giving her two weeks.
I met with my personal trainer for the first time today. It was fun. We shall see. I'm giving her 20 sessions.
I had vegatarian smoked quail from my favorite vegetarian restuarant in Houston for dinner. It was too meaty. Vegetarian quail was too meaty.
I'm going to see Alvin Aily Saturday night. I'm very excited. I haven't seen live dance since December 3.
I'm taking Monday off. I'm going to Big Thicket National Preserve to look for carnivorous plants. That's how I will relax. You know that there will be mosquitoes in this park in February? That's right. Here in Texas, we have mosquitoes all year. Not just for four months (Indiana) or 6 months (Virginia). I will take pictures of these alleged bug eating plants.

You dork - you need to get over you "wrong yarn" obsession! Won't Salt Peanuts be just fine with like, any one of the million worsted weight yarns in the world?
Seriously, given your thumbs - it's a sensible project choice for you - lots of stockinette, a little lace, and some fun things in terms of shaping. I think you should do it. You need a handknit sweater.
