It’s all calming down a little now. The show went well, the new job is working out ok and today the sun is shining. This week I have been down the posh end of London for a work meeting, and the train was half empty and on time. I even got a little bit of hooky done on the train. My blood pressure has returned to normal levels and I have been headache free for four weeks. A cynical person might point out the link between this and changing jobs, but I couldn’t possible comment.
When I feel this relaxed I find it easier to come up with ideas for things to make. I fiddle with yarn and stitches just to see what they could look like. I sketch out ideas in my notebooks in grubby biro and draw little stitch diagrams so I can remember my thought processes. Not all of them look the way I think they should when I start to make them, but then I frog and let them evolve into something more interesting. I like to see where the yarn and my mood takes me.
So I’m feeling pretty productive at the moment. I’m enjoying the challenge of shawl club and I keep thinking of other things I want to make too. I need to make time to develop it all but I know I will. There isn’t a rush, there isn’t a deadline. Pass me my tea…
