Finding clarity and my joy again.

When you get the blahs, knit colour.

And that is what I did.

I thought about knitting on the other teal top.  That Mashup of yarns is pretty spirit lifting, but my soul wanted this.  And needed it.  I feel a lot better after giving myself permission to just knit.  

The idea of being a responsible knitter is weighing me down.  I do want to clear out the older things in my WIPs bin.  I have done that and I am really pleased with it.  But the whole idea of not letting myself cast on willy nilly, was getting me down.  I have always found knitting whatever I felt like, kept my heart flying and my spirits joyful.  Trying to force the issue was dragging me down and I found that instead of knitting on what I felt I should knit on, I wasn't knitting at all.  

I am going to finish that sleeve a little at a time.  There is so little to do on it but I am not going to force it.  I am going to knit on the Mashup yarn sweater too because I really want to wear it.  But I am also not going to knit where my soul isn't.  Those things can wait.  

I am just going to let joy lead the way.
