These are the things I need to remember! With every stitch I make, I witness the knotting of yarn turning into something amazing. They are the baby steps that lead to greatness! This is where my focus needs to be. When I'm knitting, I can tune out all of the petty people, the dishonesty we face daily and the purely cruel behavior of people who are supposed to be professional. I need to channel that in every moment of my days just to get through!
I do realize that there needs to be change and challenge. Right now for example, I am knitting the baby fern for a block of Sean's afghan. It started out great and moves quickly, but holy moly am I BORED! It's tedious! I should be sailing through but I'm making careless mistakes, measuring it every 5 minutes to see how much closer to done I am! This is not how it's supposed to be. I find my mind wandering to that next Aran square I want to start! Or that yarn I need to order to start the sweater Sean wants! I'm only on square 4 of the afghan though so I cannot lose steam already! I guess I'll have to chose more challenging squares for his project and start those others too!
Change and challenge make me happy! Bring it on world!
I am a work in progress. Hopefully we all are! I am a wife, mother of two, educator, musician. Knitting and music are my passions. . I've challenged myself to find time to knit ever day and embarked on a health and fitness journey with some new friends from around the country. We'll be here to inspire and motivate one another through that process. Look out world, here come finished projects (finally), profound changes and hopefully, long sought after answers!
