Welcome to Knit Town, population: me! Well, actually population: millions, but that also includes me! I'm happy to report that I'm excited about knitting again. One of my creative goals last week was to get over my knit block, which was caused by my trouble with the lacy scarf pattern I've been trying to make. To get over my block, I decided to completely ignore the scarf and to just knit. I made a small swatch of multi-coloured yarn and practiced some stitches. I also started on new cuff, using the 3.25mm needles that arrived from London in our shipped boxes, suitcases and music equipment. (Aside: So happy to have my crafty supplies back!) I'm keeping the stitches simple enough for me to knit while watching movies or TV, so it's a lot easier for me to just pick up the work and go for it.
I did really well on my other goals too. I made not one, but two birthday cards, one Artist Trading Card, and I reconciled all my project ideas into my large sketch book. Even better, I didn't do all of these things in one day, meaning that I had several creative days during the week, which is also a goal of mine. So I'm pretty proud of my creative accomplishments this past week. **pats self on back**
For this coming week, my creative goals are:
- Work on the lacy scarf
- Work on other easier knitting projects
- Re-organize my craft supplies so I can find things easily.
- Make another ATC
- Work on my blog banner (I have the tool I need now!)
I've decided that my reward for finishing the lacy scarf will be to buy myself this book. Hopefully, that will help keep me on track!
Here's some visual stimulus for this post - the graduation card I made for my cousin. She graduated from college in Washington DC on Friday. I can remember holding her when she was just a few months old and now she's a college grad - crazy!
The photo (mine) is of the city walls of Dubrovnik, Croatia. It's a beautiful city and was one of the highlights of our travels in March.
Wishing you a creative week!
