Questions

In the free patterns I've posted, I wonder if the pattern template is too much or just enough (story of my life). The first pattern I ever posted was a pair of leg warmers for dancers called, "Cassi When She Glows" (yes, there is a song and a dance that go with this that only 2 people have EVER seen) and people received it kindly. 


I want to include valuable information, but I especially want to consider page length for my pattern printers (me, I am pattern printers). 

Take a gander at my proffred patterns and tell me is it too much or just enough. I welcome feedback and I am accessible on all platforms except Tik Tok, SnapChat, and iPhone apps. I'm old and it's too much downloading. 

I want these patterns to be effective and especially useful, but not a burden. I might be rambling as a result of being awake for many, many hours- but what even is time anymore? Its daylight and I want to get busy, but I should probably sleep. Its a beautiful, overcast morning.

This New Reality

Y'all (you know I'm southern, right?), so you hear "this is not the business" with a drawl and a twang.  I haven't gained weight but my hips hurt like I'm sitting in a too snug seat. It brings back painful memories of sitting with Genghis at his little table, too much booty for bucket seats, but it makes him happy. 


I hope that going back to classical ballet will help with the shifting sand that has settled at my bottom. I'll never understand what I need to do to shift that sand upstairs where it once was... Oh well. No one said the other side of 40 was fun. 

Bébé and I are in a space where time means nothing. Its 5 a.m and we are staring at each other wondering who will fall asleep first. My martini says it won't be me, he is looking too bright eyed, but I'm not going to argue with Russian vodka. 


I'm battling the need to "keep busy". I'm still knitting and working on patterns, but working more on myself and this wierd need to present things in a preset palatable manner as opposed to the rigidity that is me. *The universe is not done with me yet. 


I want to know how you are spending your time. What do you do now that the days all run together. How are you adapting to this world that has slowed down in some areas, sped upon others, as the words EXISTENTIAL CRISIS keep appearing in the news.

We Have Hopes and Plans

  I don't know how I made it to 2023, but look at me- still alive and confused. I am sitting here surrounded by yarn and Christmas decor...
