trying not to have the winter blues...
trying not to get crabby at the fine folks who already have their Christmas lights strung and shining...
i miss my momma terribly this time of year...
as we haven't spent the holidays together in a good many years...
so no decorations yet. but i am working myself up to it.
sooo looking forward to feeling yarn strung through my fingers as i knit by the fire.
went to Micheal's on Thanksgiving day with a coupon and hit the yarn sales. LOVE looking at and feeling yarn. (i need more like a need a hole in the head!) but found some, duh, lol, as i need to get going on some more newborn hats for my 'cross your fingers' upcoming photo shoots.
so that is what might get me out of the winter blues...
hearing the clicking of my needles, feeling the yarn, watching a fire glow in the fireplace as i sit in my studio, drink a cup of hot tea and ponder all i have been blessed with this past year. looking forward and being hopeful of what is to come.
blessings!

I wish I had the talent AND patience to knit. It seems so soothing and relaxing. Hope it gets you out of your blues!

ReplyDeleteI just taught myself last winter, had a few pointers from a nurse I work with. So I can only do the basic knit stitch, but that is fine with me for now as you can do so many things. Using color and different textured yarns, you don't really have to get fancy with different stitches. Never thought I would have the patience either, BUT, I ended up loving it.
