Well, I haven't been here in a while. I think I'm trying to decide what it is I'm going to do. Not on the grander scale of things...Life changing... but what it is that will bring me satisfaction on an everyday level.
We have had so many ups and downs over the last few months, for so many reasons. Things that have left me wondering where my energy should be focused from here forward were at the uppermost of my thoughts. I haven't quite figured that out yet, but here's what has been occupying my time lately.
I loved working on this Sand & Sea Shawlette that was awesome to knit, and even more of a pleasure to wrap around my neck! It's a bit smaller than most shawls, and also works as a scarf! This one I may keep for myself. :)After 400 plus stitches on the needles, I'm back to working on a lovely lace hat. I'll post a pic of that work in progress tomorrow.
Sweet Dreams, people!
I'm always rather in awe of the skill required to do that sort of thing. The odd thing is that people who do do it so well make it look so easy to those of us who can't. The colours blending into each other look very pleasing as well.
ReplyDeleteI can sympathise with your feelings of 'what now'. Having been there (more than once) all I can say is that when you come out of the other side, as you surely will, it's a lovely place to be. I wish you well in your deliberations.
Thanks, GB! You're a wonderful bloggy friend. :)
DeleteThat shawlette is marvellous. As GB says the ways the colours blend into each other is super and the whole things is just so lacy and smart. It would suit so many oitfits from vintage to jeans and jumper.
ReplyDeleteI suspect that working on things like the shawlette and hat probably help you to relax and mull over your future destination. Good luck.
That is the total truth of it, SS! I cannot tell you how many hours are spent "under the covers" of some knitting project that allows me the time to hide, reflect, and ponder the future.
DeleteBy the way, I saw a parrot today made from embroidery pieces that I'm sure you would LOVE! I will send you the post!
Oh! Its just lovely!
ReplyDeleteI love the colors, it looks so calming.
Thank you, Hesper. That's what I thought too.
DeleteThat is gorgeous!!!! Where ever you focus your energy be sure and leave some for your wonderful projects!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Pam. I know you have projects on the needles...let's see 'em!
DeleteShabby.....best of luck with your future decisions! I am sure they will ;point in the right direction. And the Shawl is gorgeous.

DeleteThanks for the shawl love!!
