More than halfway through the day, I realized it was 12-12-12, and that was on my list of things to shoot for the 112 in 2012 photo group. I didn't have anything 12-12-12-worthy to shoot and it was almost dark. Then I realized, it's just like any other day: the magic is there, I just have to stop and look for it.
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.
A beautiful picture Karen -- and perfect sentiment. Something I need to remember more often too!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Karen! It reminds me of areas around the Platte River!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
Oh you did better than me. I recall I was driving on 12-12-12 and there were many scenes that would have made a good picture, but I haven't worked out how to take pictures at the same time as driving. Love yours :o)
