... RE...Creation...

So I had to frog my first attempt at a dress. It was just ending up way to thick. Separated into 2 ply and started again and it's turning out fabulous. I'm really happy with it so far. I really am just knitting from the seat of my pants right now. I have general math but other then that it's just kinda growing on it's own.

I will be happy to show you the finished project even if it's ugly. It's a lesson of it's own.

I am oddly happy with my life right now. Things are as they always are, difficult and frustrating. However the lessons I have learned in the last year are ones that will fallow me through life. The path looks like the sun might come out for a moment and give me clarity. A moment to get my bearings before the dark drops again and I have to keep moving. I just hope I've been moving in the right direction so far.

Jayne Cobb hat

The Jayne Cobb hat is almost finished. Should be finished today. I just have the top of the decrease to go and the earflaps. I have to look into how to make a pompom. There might be pictures soon if my boyfriend lets me use his camera. Luffles! I hope that Rockabilly will post pictures of the hat too!

Things there are going good. It's strange having someone new in my life. I like it very much. The chillins are being demanding this morning, so I best be off.

The hats have been making. I am to finish this hat today or tomorrow. Then I start the hat for Rockabilly. I have to enjoy that my friends like my work.

Rockabilly, wants a Jayne Cobb style hat. I am going to have to make it a little different to get the durability I hope for in a hat. I think I am going to make another aviator style short row hat. I may have to make a small one for my son to make sure the color proportions are right. I will of course make it in other yarn.

I've been looking for inspiration. Things to knit, and how to knit things. I have a few sketches and ideas. I hope to be able to post pictures soon. Need to buy new camera cords.

I am, there fore I...

Create, Indulge, Enjoy, Doubt, Construct, Hope, Immortalize, Destruct, Distract, and other wise exist within my own mind. I have many things I love and many things I hate. Plenty I care nothing about neither negative or positive. My over all goal stays the same. To support the creation of a world I would wish to live in by my action and the people I surround myself with.

I wish only to be a toy. Something and someone who brings joy to those who connect with me. My tiny world evolves around simple things. Things that are pretty, shiny, cute, utilitarian, useful, and lovable. Some are the people I love, my family and friend. Others are the skills I have to create from with in me to give the world a bit of view into a reality that is not their own.
