Consolation

I am taking a one week break and only a one week break from that darned sweater and I will not swear (out loud) and I will behave like a lady (in public) when speaking about said sweater.

In consolation, I dug this out of the basket and am having a really good time.  All Clapotis are a really good time.  Simple knitting.  No brainwork required so long as you use a lot of stitch markers.  Hypnotic?  Yes. What's not to love?

I will also console myself with Persuasion.  In it, Jane Austen affirms that even a love lost can be renewed if that love be true.

Updated to add:  I was watering the garden yesterday.  I have vegetables!  Not all are up yet, but some things are peeking through.  There is always the smallest tension before the plants come up.  Did you do it right?  Were the seeds good?  Will all my hard work be worth it?  Small tension, with a big reward.

Hey it sounds a lot like knitting!
