Recently I've turned a corner in my knitting. And as if it coordinates, I feel I'm making a right turn in my life as well. I haven't fully turned the corner yet, but my blinker is on, and the wheel is turned. I'm headed in the right direction. It's been a tough several months, not because anything catastrophic has happened, but just because I've been stagnant, stuck. Which is one of the worst kinds of feelings. When a tragedy happens, there is something clear and concrete to get over, when one is stagnant and stuck, one sinks deeper without even realizing. And, what is there to get over? Standing still? It just doesn't elicit the self saving motivation that is necessary in such situations.
So, now as I've made a breakthrough in my knitting, churning out successful, mistake free (ok, well maybe *almost* mistake free) objects, I've also come to some discoveries about my current state of being. This is a good thing (not my current state, but my revelations). Now, as I did for my knitting, it's time to apply myself, my time, creativity, and persistance. The ideas are flowing, and soon I will turn the corner and be on a new street.
So in the meantime here's my current sweater. 14 rows left in the body, and then it's onto the sleeves!
