Knitting and talking is harder than it looks

This week my scarf has grown two inches. It is a slow process OK. As of now I cannot knit and talk at the same time because I am still absorbed into every stitch. Amazing how easy it is to mess up one of those little suckers. All it takes is me looking away for a second and pretending like I can actually knit without staring intently at every move. Well, I am getting better in the sense that I am getting faster and my hand positioning is coming more easily. All sarcasm aside. I still cannot knit and do anything else. My husband tries to talk to me while I am sitting in the living room and this is how the conversation goes: Husand "blah blah blah blah blah". Me "where your talking?". I have never been able to do two things at once, and in fact do not think anyone is good at it they are just rapidly switching from one thing to the other. That aside, I am sometimes amazed how knitting sucks in all my attention and I look up and suddenly realize an hour has gone by and I was unaware of anything around me. I enjoy this in a simple kind of way. Meaning that there is so much distraction around me that it is nice to have some focused time with no interruption, just sitting in my living room listening to faint music focused in knitting. Sounds kind of strange maybe but it is oddly enjoyable. Maybe because I am at the stage in my pregnancy where exerting energy is more and more challenging? Maybe because I just need more calm in my life? My husband says it is because I am an "old soul", whatever that means.
