Just Different

It was a great weekend.  I made my raisin bread and have been enjoying raisin toast with peanut butter or cheese.  And Keith made some peanut butter French toast.  Yummy.  Plus it was the Japanese Grand Prix.  What a great race.  

And knitting.  Oh my.  Wonderful doesn't begin to describe it.  

That brown you see is actually purple and I utterly love how it looks.  There is an intensity and a depth to the colours that don't show up in pictures.  What you can see is Kaunis very gentle change to green which is the next colour in the skein.  It fades so delicately.  Sigh.  I love Kauni and I am glad I have a good stash of it.  

It's also lyrical knitting.  It changes before you ever get tired of the colour or the stitch.  Now you may think all that garter stitch must be tough but not if you do it the way I do.  I wrap my purls the wrong way and the result is that knit rows are knit through the leading leg of the stitch, the back leg, and the purls are my normal purl which is easy and flows just like a knit stitch.  When I started knitting everyone told me I was doing it wrong.  I learned how most of you do it and now, when I knit, I knit to get what I want in the most comfortable efficient way.  There are places and times when my way is better and y'all are doing it wrong.

In knitting, if you get the product you want, and if you are enjoying your knitting, you are NEVER knitting wrong.  Hold that to your heart.  If you understand what everyone else does, and you can do that and you find a better way to get there in your own inimitable style, you win in every way.  

When someone says you are doing it wrong, just smile and tell them it's not wrong. Its just different.
