Backwards

A few years ago, I went to a chiropractor who had a great deal of holistic training. He told me that I wear all of my energies backwards. Basically, I hold myself back from succeeding at things, or at the very least I make things much harder to achieve. Clearly, I have been able to do some things. But, I think, if it wasn't for my tendency to be anxious and my lack of self confidence it would have been easier.

Well, these issues have rear their ugly head again. As I was reading Knitting Around, I discovered that not only do I purl backward, but I also knit backward. Crap and right in the middle of a sweater too. So these are my musings. First of all, I have been knitting backwards for a great deal of time. Second, it seems to create a firm and well shaped fabric. It is a pretty fabric. So, I will finish this sweater and then revise my technique. I am excited to relearn. I get bored with monotony anyway.
