and it can lead to good things, new ideas, reminders of good projects & renewed energy.
As a long time list maker, I find myself dong better & doing more when I am organized via lists, be it a to-do list as I used today - a list on Goodreads - a list of knitting projects I hope to do. I find comfort in lists too & that can be helpful. I am also a visual person & seeing things on a page or a computer screen or in a pile or folder is helpful to me.
As I lay in bed this AM, trying to steel myself to the fact that we had to get up & get moving, I began my lists for the day & week-end. It is a working week-end for me & thus I have relished today even more. My list was checked off in a pretty good clip & that feels terrific.
Knitting wise, I am in the last 1/3 of my Turn-A-Square hat & let me tell ya, I envision more of these to come. Of course, when I read Jane's blog post re hats, I hmmmmed to myself re the pattern she is using & mulled over that one as a stash buster project.
Alas & yay: I frogged the sock yarn shawl I was doing & have passed that exquisite sock yarn on to a dear bud who is a Sock Knitting Queen & feel better about it. My hands were challenged by the amount of nylon in it & I saw the light re it after a phone conversation with the exquisite Bullwinkle. Our dear pal has the ability to make a statement to me & the world becomes brighter. Love those Virgos!! Other yarns that have been challenging: cotton, silk, boucle. Those are all gone from my stash. Mohair can be funky & the fact that I love it leads me to want to use it & to try to figure out ways to knit with it..
Soon I will be taking a class at Hidden River Yarns with Purlewe - another pal I am so grateful to have in my life. While I am doing manageable projects that bring joy & quicker results, I am mulling over the knitting of a sweater, which pattern & what stash yarn to use. Ahhh, back to that ambition.
