I would like an extra two hours a day to knit. And two hours to spend on the computer looking for things to knit. Another extra hour would be great for learning Microsoft Access (a recent obsession that I'll talk more about some other time). Let's see...I would also need time to go to the gym, cook the meals, do the laundry, go for walks with the girls. I think that a 40 hour day would suffice. You see, I can get all of the mothering and housework done without any problems, but I feel like I have to fight to find time to work on personal projects. There are tough choices at 8 PM: knit, sew, program, read, or work out? In the end I am usually able to choose one thing (last night it was the computer) but then the next day I look at my half-knit socks a bit guiltily. They need me too.
On the topic of knitting, I recently joined Ravelry. My username is "defeatingentropy," because when I knit I feel like I'm creating order from chaos. Ravelry is the most excellent thing I have discovered in all my time sifting through online knitting resources. It is an entire community of people like me (obsessed with yarn and with turning yarn into something beautiful). If I wasn't biased I might call it a cult.
