Things Are Not Okay

And it is okay to admit it. We are not in unprecedented times. The world has been here before and hopefully the world will collectively choose to be better for a longer time span than barely 100 years. 

Your joy, your refusal to be defeated are acts of rebellion. Use them increasingly. 

May we be together when this too has passed

You're probably wondering how two WIPS made their way into the vehicle when I'm the only driver. Well let me tell you, smarty pants- if I sits, I knits. 

The crazy part is that any car knitting project is a long term labor of love. Will I ever bind off? Dunno. I do know that I have enough feel good yarn 🧶 to last a good minute,however I have found good yarn dot US and I might be in a bit of bother. 

Alas, I have found projects in coat pockets, in drawers, and under my office chair lumbar pillow. 

Go figure. 

Well, happy knitting. 

When It's No Longer Fun

 

It will happen to every creative spirit. That moment when what you love becomes the thing you least want to see. The aversion to knitting happens to so many of us. Sometimes it is stress from expectations, and other times it is just plain old fiber fatigue. 

I penned this message on 2025 Aug 10 after years of silence. I realized I had things to process, and the peaceful hum that comes with knitting, fleshing out patterns, and staring at yarn until it took shape in my mind was no longer optional. 

So I stopped. 

Then came the hard part, not beating myself up for not giving time and attention to something I spent years planning, learning, and wishing to see. That took a lot of time. 

I redirected. 

I poured myself into work until it felt ridiculous, I traveled and took my bebe to see new sights and old faces. I lost siblings. friends, and almost my life. I can give myself the respect of space. 

I'm back up in this thang with a smile on my face and pushing ahead with no pressure.
