Remembering

This Moment

Blank Day

Sometimes the road takes you down a different path than you expected it to,
A thought turned upside down and inside out, only to arrive at where it began.
Struggling to find a way to feel connected without disconnecting.
Too many voices spilling onto the page, making my brain jumble in a daze.
Emotions rise & fall, doubt & regrets hammer along.
But reality slowly fills back up, making the well full again.
All their faces reappear.
Hands move and eyes see.
Every inch of me comes from them.
Accepting we are who we are.
Not afraid of saying it's hard.
This life we lead, the blank days we are handed, stand on our easel waiting to painted.
Waiting to be seen.

The ends & beginnings..

My Gemini Pullover designed by beautiful Jane Richmond is coming to an end! With a few glitches here & there..I learned that yarn can differ in color based on it's batch number. When I originally bought my yarn, I picked four skeins that came from two different batches. Realizing this too late in the beginning..I just couldn't bring myself to frog so much for such a minor issue, me thinking..."will someone really notice, my slightly different shade of green sweater???" hmm. But as I came to the bottom this morning & started with the last skein of the different batch, I noticed too much. Luckily, I was able to nab the last #8469 of this "moss green." & run for the door. I didn't get out of the store without picking up a few new skeins of "naturally caron; silky soft bamboo blend" black.



I have my eye on "Roxborough Doman" by Courtney Kelley..found in "knitscene's spring 2012 issue." Yes, I got a copy. I've started the swatch for gauge & so far, so good. No stripes for this one, just black! You can see it here.

Living in Ohio, the evenings are never as they were in NC..going outside to a nice & cool 80 degrees. I do like the summer nights here. So I'm excited to add some light weight knitted sweaters for my summer attire.

April Showers Cowl - Off-T-N

This one is done! Just in time for April Showers. It turned out very different in size..I'm guessing the gauge was way off with the needle size I used. I knew this all along, but it worked out ok. I just sewed a seam when I was done to create a cowl The lace repeated every four rows creates a really pretty design. I just ended up using most of the left over yarn I got for Christmas & made a shorter version.
