Your story of the tobaggan run was great! I can see the whole thing in my mind! A funk??? I hear ya'. You might want to re-read and re-think your story of the tobaggan run and you'll soon see how blessed you are...even in the gray of winter and long days w/out sunshine. I know you know that....just keep basking in the true SONshine and your FUNK will turn to FUN! I enjoy your blog....oh...and I KNIT also! I learned online after seeing a 100 year old resident in a nursing home making knitted cotton dish cloths! I've always liked those dish cloths and figured if a 100 year old invalid could make them, I could learn also! It only took me FIVE dish cloths to get it right! That's the extent of my knitting....a simple garter (?) stitch! I can do scarves too! Be blest and keep blogging!~ Lindy ~https://www.blogger.com/profile/17068731646949113732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5592061068495749121.post-52315814295922757762008-02-19T19:00:00.000-05:002008-02-19T19:00:00.000-05:00Oh Kris...you just cracked me up!

(That's not helpful, now is it??!?!) <BR/><BR/>I agree with the others, do something relaxing, like taking a long bath. Then pick out your most colorful skein from your stash and make a hat or some fingerless mitts - anything that can be done in a jiffy. <BR/><BR/>The days are longer, and the sun is with us more and more each day. That's a very good thing. Winter is in it's last trimester. The end is nigh.<BR/><BR/>MMorticciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01606043175114111707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5592061068495749121.post-29581554614096525242008-02-19T07:07:00.000-05:002008-02-19T07:07:00.000-05:00I hate funks too.

But mostly because if it is going to be cold, I want snow. and not just a smattering of it, I want real snow. <BR/>Thankfully, I seldom get in a knitting funk, and if I do, they usually only last a few days. <BR/><BR/>I love Nell's advice.monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16774976566064027341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5592061068495749121.post-61798267397598090062008-02-18T23:21:00.000-05:002008-02-18T23:21:00.000-05:00February Funk is a notorious sucker of energy.

Either that or hibernate until March.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08524593912913005806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5592061068495749121.post-25205482500072308852008-02-18T18:34:00.000-05:002008-02-18T18:34:00.000-05:00Funks suck!

Maybe go out and find a fabulous skein of yarn to give you some inspiration.Minerva Turkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07420188737230865279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5592061068495749121.post-29798871496379686512008-02-18T14:58:00.000-05:002008-02-18T14:58:00.000-05:00Oh dear, I hate funks too - and have been in one o...Oh dear, I hate funks too - and have been in one over this weather...sometimes just setting aside all current stalled projects - so you can do a little more immediate gratification type thing, help. Maybe some fingerless mitts or a hat - just to jump start into something different for now since your current things are vexing. I love, love your story! My mom, sister and I went sledding once, we were all adults - and my mom peed her pants - still makes us giggle! Including my mom, good thing she is such a good sport!:) We even took a picture of her next to the sled later for a fond memory. Sounds like you had too much fun - well deserved after this crummy weather.peaknitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16031908574979989240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5592061068495749121.post-55037399103597899312008-02-18T14:01:00.000-05:002008-02-18T14:01:00.000-05:00I definitely understand the funk thing...it happen...I definitely understand the funk thing...it happens to all of us!
