Anger and Me

I was working on a tapestry crochet bag. I liked the yarn and the possibility to start implementing this long read but never tried technique so I cast on and started the base. It was interesting how the fabric was created in this method. You just need to try it yourself to know what I mean. I just got a couple of rows when accident happened.

I was angry. Very angry. I couldn't tell the cause but I had burst to silent tears and boiling stomach. I could feel the blood rushing to my head and made me dizzy. I could be in the real physical pain when I'm angry so I tried hard not to. At the moment I tried to crochet a few more stitches to calm it down but I just couldn't silent the storm in my head. So I give up. To save me (and my surroundings, my loved ones and my yarns) from further damage I decided to lay down. I guessed the piece will happily wait until sing the peace song and walk in the path of greens again.

I remembered a joke from A Joke A Day that tells the story of a wife that tells the secret on her death bed regarding a jar filled with hundreds of dollars and a couples of finished doilies. It turned out that whenever she got angry to her husband she would make doily and sold the finished ones. After years of living with her husband she had accumulated the money mentioned before.

Fantastic story, isn't it? Whether it was fiction or real story, I definitely envy her because sometime I feel that I could get mad easily. Imagine how much money I could make out of my anger, it certainly cut my husband budget on yarns as I crave for them every time I see them in person or online. But really, I don't like doilies and I don't think I could stay still and crochet when I'm on the verge of bursting flame and spitting fire. So I guess I should try something more reasonable, easier and calming to use my raged energy. Because I could knit while pacing back and forth (but couldn't use my hook without sitting) how about knitting washcloths or hot pads? They will be easier to make. Especially in garter stitch. Do you think people will buy those?
