After many discussions with my family over the past couple of years I am going to change up my knitting style. I will no longer try to knit more than everyone else. Instead I will do charity projects while John is driving. I usually work on hats and scarfs while watching television. That will not change. I will still continue to teach knitting, spinning and weaving as the opportunities present themselves. I will continue to design knitting patterns as the patterns want to be written. I will cut my knitting goal by 50% to give me time to work on projects for me.
This is being done because I am not getting any younger. We also want to preserve my hands and my ability to use them. Less is going to have to be more. I will also explore other areas of my creative self. I will try painting and drawing. I will do more sewing. I will do more weaving. I will try not to be singular in my artistic pursuits. This is also because arthritis really suck’s big time. After decades of trying to push past the pain, I have nothing let to prove to myself. I really hate being in pain most of the time. I am hoping that these changes will help in the long run.
These are just some of the me projects I have lined up.
