The Process

I don't ever set a goal and say something like, "I'm going to knit or stitch a complete whatever every week this year or every month this year". I know some folks always have a stitching goal. Well, I have a goal and it is to just enjoy the process. I don't really need to knit or stitch (heavens forbid that I said that). But, think about it, we are not crossing the Plains in a covered wagon. Everything I need can be purchased. So, why do I knit?

It has to be the process. It has to be the colors of yarn, the feel of the material slipping through my fingers. The process of taking a string and making fabric that is soft and warm. The process of getting comfy on the couch with Fonzie cuddled up beside me. Yes, it is definitely the process.

Make a snow flake

I am so glad our oldest daughter was born in January as we get to have another celebration in the middle of the winter. I have her knitted birthday item almost finished. I'll post a picture after her b-day.

Make sure you go to the side bar and create a snowflake. It is really neat to see the results. Speaking of snow, will we get snow tonight??

I love the knitting needle containers shown on Knitting Souls Together. I think I will rearrange all my needles. That should take several hours (or days)!!!

And why am I posting this in the middle of the day in the work week? I came home yesterday with a whopping sinus infection. So ,after the trip to the DR, two shots and a handful of meds ... Fonzie and I settled on the couch for a long snooze. I feel some better today but thought I needed a rest to knock this out.

Friday we start knitting at the H.B. Stamps Library in Rogersville. I can't wait to see everyone and start on a new project. Or I could work on a UFO. Heaven forbid if I actually got something finished from years ago!!
