knitting



I know it’s not much, but I did it. This is the first thing I've finished knitting. The red tube thing my daughter is wearing. You see, I´ve never been really good in the creative department. I’ve diagnosed myself as creatively challenged. I always wanted to do stuff, I mean anything creative, but always raised the bar to high. If I was going to do anything at all it had to be absolutely brilliant. If not, better do nothing at all.

Well I lowered the bar. It started with yoga. Then I started to write, just for me in my journal. I wrote a lot that made no sense at all. But I didn’t care, because things started to happen. I wrote about all I wanted to do, and after enough writing I actually started to do it. I write, I make collages, I blog, I draw and paint, photograph, bake, knit- and these are all things I really didn’t think I could do. But this is one of the important lessons from yoga….just practise and all will come…….

  1. I love the neck tube! And the color. It's wonderful! I wish I could knit...
    I always think that if I could be less scattered, creatively, I would accomplish more. But it's too much fun experimenting with different things, isn't it?

  3. Hi~~I found you by way way of Kimberly Wilson's Hip Tranquil Chick blog.

    I really like what you said at the end of this post about "this is one of the important lessons from yoga….just practise and all will come……." It's exactly what I needed to read as I re-open up the document for the novel I'm trying to write. Thanks!
