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.
knitting, photography, gardening, quilting, life
I gave up on a simpler life a long time ago. You think it will get easier when your kids are gone -- don't want to depress you, but you'll be just as busy! I'm not giving up on spring though -- especially when I see a beautiful picture like yours!
ReplyDeleteI thought things would be simpler when we retired. Not! Just slow down and appreciate each day for what it brings. They go way too fast.
ReplyDeleteSpring? Not here, not yet!
Just think how bored you might be if life was simpler, Karen ;>) Love the Hyacinth - we saw some just poking up in Napa recently!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
What a beautiful photo! I hope things are going well. It looks like we might have better weather by the weekend :)
