Insomnia Discoveries

I often do not sleep until very very late (3 a.m.) now, despite having to wake up around 5:30 or 6 a.m. to go to work. Insomnia runs in my family. To solve this frustrating problem, I do stuff until I'm sleepy, otherwise just laying there, unable to sleep really annoys me. I knit, I sew, I read, I watch stupid TV...

Tonight I spent time surfing the web (making up for not having time to do so these last 2-3 weeks). I was totally psyched to find that there was a "I knit with Grey's Anatomy" button! My research led me to Knitting Underway, which credited the author of Good to be Girl as the creator of the button.

I was very excited, as only knitting addicts can understand, when first I saw the previewss for this now-infamous episode. I made a mental note to not miss this episode and announced the showing for Grey's fans in my knitting group. In this episode, Meredith learns to knit on large needles (US 15? 17?) and attempts to knit a sweater. Izzy ends up knitting too and by a miracle knits a sweater in less than one day, in between her busy day, with what appears to be worsted or double knit weight yarn (yeah, right).

Anyway, in my insomniac stupor, I am as exicted to find the button as seeing that episode. Woohoo!
