I have a particular thing I am interested in doing and I have been planning for it since last fall when I bought myself an OTT lite. It is the most amazing thing. Suddenly I can see even late into the evening. I can work on dark fabrics and see tiny details (with my glasses off that is and holding things close). It helps even with the knitting.
I played with painting fabrics, and played with layering fabrics, and I think finally I am ready to start. I know what, I know where, I know how. All that remains is to do. That is what my veiled references about something different have been about. I am eager to do.
The only problem is that it keeps bumping into my knitting time. I seem to be able to do anything, but so long as it does not stop my knitting. I have a few things I want to tidy up and finish, but I really am really trying to make time to do something else.
I keep going back to knitting. I think gee my feet are chilly and find myself knitting socks. I feel a chill on the back of my neck and want to knit shawls or cowls. I feel generally cold and am compelled to knit sweaters. I can knit things that actively solve a small problem in my world and that is pretty satisfying. Top that off with the simple fact that I am endlessly fascinated by all the things you can do and the hundreds of ways of getting there and knitting is who and what I am all about. In the most satisfying way.
But I do wish it would push over for a few minutes here and there and give me a bit of time to explore other things.
For now, I am going to have a nap, and then I will make some soup for supper. I woke with a bit of a fever and a sore throat and i mean to kill it with kindness and ginger tea.
