It has been quite awhile since I've blogged. This morning I have been sitting out on our deck listening to a book about creativity and knitting on one of my latest projects ( of which there are many). It suddenly became apparent to me that I have not blogged in over a year and that I missed it. What happened along the way? I have continued to knit everyday but my desire to photograph & write about my craft just went away. Today, my inspiration returned like a warm breeze.
I knit everyday and I always have more than one project going. Here are a few items that have come off the needles in the past few months. A shawl, two sweaters, two triangular scarves, and a yummy linen cowl.
Since my last post I have become a Grandmother for the third time. It is so much fun to knit for wee ones. Right now I'm half way finished with a warm blanket for the little guy to use this fall in his stroller. I cast on last week and hope to finish by next week.
A real bonus for my knitting craft is the opening of a new yarn store in our town. We have Sit & Knits every Tuesday. Great creative community.
Today as I was looking in my knitting basket I came across my little green sketch book that I started in July 2013. My dear sister-in-law, Jane, suggested to me to carry a sketch book & when something sparked my creativity to just make a quick sketch. Here is my first entry-
Jane passed away in 2014. She was an artist in so many ways and my little green sketch book is a reminder to keep my creativity fresh. Jane is the person who encouraged me to use my camera to see life around me . So today the sketch book is out, the camera is ready. I'm so happy that I took the time this morning to let that warm breeze of inspiration flow thru me.
