Just give me the damn sweater

When you're getting closer to finishing a knitting project it's very easy to keep staying up later than you meant to, because the next milestone always seems really close and stopping before the end of the section or whatever seems silly. But this is the second night in a row I was up late thinking I was almost done with the bottom ribbing of my new cardigan, and I couldn't stop myself from trying to start the buttonband. That will ultimately take several days, I'm sure.

I was up late two nights ago because of knitting, darn it. But at least I was more excited about knitting than going to bed, which is a nice change from the last 3 years when all I wanted was to be asleep in bed.

I do feel that. On the other hand waking up before sunrise at this time of year is pretty painful. It's not like it's exactly fixed by sleeping more, but it is maybe a bit easier.
