I had just been thinking about how the quantity of my knitting and posting are mostly un-related.When I know what I'm doing, I do a lot of it. So I have almost deep-enough pockets on the circumnatigating cardigan-- and nothing interesting to say about it. It is K2 K2tog YO over and over!
On the other hand, I was also inspired by Mason Dixon to knit some "boxes". A friend tried it and warned me that she didn't care for the texture of the felted garter stitch, so I was already mentally prepared to fiddle with the pattern. Um, make that "ignore the pattern"!
So I've been knitting and crocheting and free-form knitting with the skeins of Cascade I got last month. I probably should have felted a sample sooner, but look at all the possibilities I've created.
Some boxes and some bowls. I'm thinking they'll make nice cachepots for earrings or rings ... which I may make, too. Or purchase. You know... extra gifts for the increasing number of people who seem to "have everything."
Then this quote came via a weekly quote subscription.Life isn't about finding yourself.
Life is about creating yourself.
George Bernard Shaw
That's the thing about knitting. You don't go FIND it. You create it. The process of doing it makes it made clear.
- Imagine and reflect.
- Inform yourself.
- Take a risk or two or twenty.
- Repeat
I would love to hear about what YOU are creating.

I am knitting bibs. Basically a small dishcloth with a long strip off one corner to go around the neck. It has 3 button holes in it and a button goes on the bib. A nice quick project.
