It's always feast or famine isn't it?

After months of no knitting, even at group, in the past week I have finished two on needle projects and written 3 patterns. Well almost written. Well not so much written, more... knit.  I'm really bad at writing patterns. This is not to be confused with being bad at knitting something with no pattern, because I'm very good at that, it's the writing down part that gets me. Over the years I've discovered that I knit by sight and I do certain things the same way all the time so I tend to want to say things like, "make a toe" or "work the cable for 3 turns then branch off to the sides" and have that make sense to people.  That... is where Lily comes in. The only way I can think to put it is that she knits by row. She is the exact opposite of me, she will take a chart and write it out and then create a spread sheet and work from that where I prefer a chart otherwise I don't get it til after I've knit the first repeat. She is extremely helpful for someone like me who has a notebook full of random words and the occasional picture that for someone like me is a book full of patterns I've written. She will be the one to find order in the chaos. She will be the person to look at my written patterns and say, "No. That is too vague. Write that out clearer." Which happens to be exactly what I need. We are getting together to watch Leverage tonight and I'll run the first drafts by her and maybe I'll have something to post soon! Now if I can just keep up the momentum...
