I just wanted to mark this as a day of passing. I’ve just fond out that the blog that I had before I came to WordPress has been deleted. I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised, it’s about a year since I last logged onto it. But I didn’t know how to transfer posts so much history has been lost :’(
I have also lost all the cool page design that I did (and can’t seem to get to work on WordPress). Today is a sad day.
Admittedly, my understanding of all things politics/economics etc is a bit rubbish but I came across this article and wanted to share:
Things must be really grim if we’ve taken to the oceans looking for loose change!
So I’ve noticed as of late that I’ve cast on a lot of projects that are meant to be in pairs only to find that they remain single for the time being. The ‘black socks’ (as they shall be referred to until presented) for instance. Is it because I tried to make one many moons ago, only to have to frog back after a needle malfunction? Or the Ballet School Dropout socks which are the more successful cousin of an earlier model which had to be abandoned during production? Perhaps it comes down to not wanting to have to work the same pattern twice, even though this time around they’ll be better than before? Either way both socks are currently without a partner, and getting terribly lonely.

And the oneness isn’t just consigned to socks, it’s affecting the mitten world too. Having made one (wicked!) Peekaboo Mitten did I cast on for the second straight away? No, of course I didn’t. Instead I moved on to another project and having finished (the first part of) that, I’m contemplating the next project I can cast on.

Every night I look through my knitting journal, at the list of all the things I want to make and seem to be surprised that I haven’t finished anything to be able to cross it off my list yet. ‘Well really,’ I tell myself ‘What am I supposed to expect if I start projects here there and everywhere?!’‘
Today, perhaps as a way to help my organisation along some ways I pulled out my knitting and crochet magazines and scoured them for patterns that I planned to make from them. I then entered the name of the pattern, the magazine it came from and the yarn required to make it into my journal. I am quite surprised to say that there are at least 57 patterns that I’m wanting to make from those magazines covered so far (and that’s not including potential items I may knit in the future if I hear someones having a baby). Imagine how long it would take to knit all that. Then add to that all the projects I’ve downloaded into my Ravelry library. Then add that to all the patterns out there that I haven’t come across yet. Seriously God, just 24 hours in a day?! When are we supposed to fit it all in?! Which kind of brings me back to ‘oneness’. If we only get one shot at this lifetime, I’ve got a lot of knitting to do!
