Late Knit with David Letterman

Mary Ann (my soul friend) and I are both night owls. When the world goes to sleep, you'll find us in our respective casas, knitting and flipping (the remote) and I admit we can both get sucked into a Signature Club A sales pitch on QVC or watching David, or Tyra or Conan to the very end. We have both discovered that when we go to sleep has a lot to do with what we're knitting. If we're knitting in the round it could mean an all-nighter because there is never a good place to stop - while garter stitch is rather easy to walk away from.   If I am working in stockinette, knit a row, purl a row, I feel obligated to end with a purl row, but once I get there, I am compelled onward because I know I can fly through the upcoming knit row. But, then, I really should end with a purl row --- and so it goes. If I'm working a rib, I usually find that I want to stop in the middle of a row but, of course, I never do. Mary Ann is working on a baby blanket for her sister in law, and it has a six row repeating pattern.

I'm tired just looking at it. She has to finish it before the Baby Shower this weekend. Have another cup of coffee, Mar - it's gonna be a loooong week.
