I made a mistake. I bought my husband a Nintendo DS for his birthday (really I've come in way under budget on gifts the past few holidays so I took all that savings and spent it on the gaming system.) He loves it and has been playing it a lot. The mistake is I got the Brain Age game. It's really fun, but requires you to log in every day and play to earn these little virtual stamps. Still not seeing the mistake? He's being a nice husband and sharing so I find myself playing video games when I should be knitting. I'm sure in a little while I'll be able to find balance, but right now the sleeve on Blueberry is still rather short. I have gotten past the increases every 4 rounds and have moved into the section where I increase every 6 rounds. Hopefully next week I'll have found balance and will be past the 6 round repeat section, but I won't be too mad at myself if that doesn't happen. There's still a lot of last minute stuff to get finished for the quilt show next month so I know knitting time will be precious.
maybe the novelty of the video game will wear off?? I find I get engrossed in puzzle games on my ipad and have to peel myself away to knit. However knitting is just as much fun. Hope you get more knitting done this week!!
ReplyDeleteI will sometimes take a break from knitting to play games on my phone or iPad - it's good to give the hands a rest every 30 minutes or so. The games can get addicting for sure!
ReplyDeleteConfession, I play Text Twist much too much! And work Diagramless Crossword puzzles much too much! And now I am back to reading books, much too much. LOL, you get the picture. And then I wonder why my knitting isn't getting done?
ReplyDeleteThe same thing happens to me with games on my PC. I really have to concentrate more on my crafts.
