I haven't posted a lot of knitting on here in the last few years. Not much to say about it but I still knit. I knit because I love to create. I knit because I love sweaters. I knit because I grew up with a mom who is artistic beyond the acknowledgement she receives, and it's in my blood to do something creative. I knit because I love the good things God grows, like sheep and wool and muskox and cotton. I knit because I love colors. I knit because my boys wear what I knit. I knit because I like the rhythm. I knit because it has a beginning and an end, and they are achievable. I knit because when my hands are busy, my mouth slows down, and it gives my brain a chance to make better decisions. I knit because I'm really, really good at it, and it's one of the few things that others acknowledge, and we all need that. I knit because I love to knit. I'm working on a colorful shawl in alpaca.

Karen,
ReplyDeleteLove the beautiful teapot and the gorgeous roses in them- Really pretty..
As for your knitting- every skill takes practise and sometimes we can't figure it out- You are not a failure - You took up a new hobby and have persisted even when you got discouraged. Sometimes you have to go back to it and try again.
Do you have a local knitting shop- perhaps they have someone that can show you the stitch.
In the meantime, you do lots of other things well- your a good mom and a wonderful photographer.
Be well,
Warmest regards,
Anna
