tell me why......

Sailing heart-ships thru broken harbors

Out on the waves in the night

Still the searcher must ride the dark horse

Racing alone in his fright.

Tell me why, tell me why

Is it hard to make arrangements with yourself,

When your old enough to repay but young enough to sell?

Tell me lies later, come and see me

I'll be around for a while.

I am lonely but you can free me

All in the way that you smile

Tell me why, tell me why

Is it hard to make arrangements with yourself,

When your old enough to repay but young enough to sell?

Tell me why, tell me why

Tell me why, tell me why

and, while you're at it, neil, tell my why it is that i can't seem to stay on task! argh!!!

i start out with such good intentions or ideas and i just can't seem to focus to see those ideas through to completion! argh!!! all i can say is that i'm really lucky that they weren't diagnosing 'adhd' when i was young or i would have been in a world of hurt!!

ya know, october is a 'big' month in the world of knitting, being 'socktober' and all! and have i finished just one pair of socks so far this month - well, not exactly but i do have one of a pair done and at this point that may have to count! that is a sad state of affairs! had you asked what my intentions were on october one, multiple pairs would have been at the top of my list. and, putting a dent in my malabrigo stash during 'stocktober' smackdown would have been right up near the top of that same list!

but, alas, a mere week left of the month and where am i? not very far!

and why would that be? distractions, plain and simple!

if a teacher were filling out my report card, i'm sure that the comments would include a line like, 'pati needs to spend more time in her seat, completing her assignments, instead of being such a gadfly'. i would have to say i'm more like a butterfly - i flit from here to there and back again!

and what have i been flitting to and fro with? shawl patterns - all of a sudden they have become a compulsion - i am working on my third one this month alone! tsk! tsk! tsk! and, i see more in my future!! i am doomed!!

oh, yeah, i did spend a wee bit of time knitting these:

for these - the little punkin heads!

and the others for another little set of punkin heads!!

now, what was i supposed to be focusing on?.....
