the rain the the spider?
who says that HOT weather and knitting don't go together?
infact i think just about any kind of weather compliments knitting. cold, snowy, snuggle-in days...and knitting. rainy days...and knitting. mild, spring days...and knitting. HOT, 100 degree, stuck inside, air conditioned days...knitting.
me and the knitting are "getting along" again.
Nessie the vest is gone, ripped, and well on her way (1/2 way done in fact) to becoming a cute cotton sweater for a little beach going boy i know!
Florence the boring Rowan shrug, is still boring but i want her so bad i continue to do "my work". i let her sit for a full 2 days and that really helped, now she gets some attention each day.
And my Manos cabled creation only gets attention at Art 4 Soul nights so no guilt about not working on it otherwise, and my Tangled Web shawl will wait til cool weather.
i still have my growing "want to do pile" but the feelings of pressure are gone. i think they washed away in that last big rain we had. when i decided to "take to the garden" for 2 days.
did lots of planting, weeding, thinning, getting muddy...
who knows maybe it was spending time with those spiders... that oldest of crafters. the myths and and magic and mystery of spiders. the spinner of the silkened thread.
my grandson sings a little song about the spider and the rain. maybe there's something to that!
(come to think of it, maybe i should re-think it all and JUST work on that Tangled Web Shawl?)
