From time to time I get stuck on Inspirational Pinterest Quotes. Mostly evidenced by my 1000+ screenshot-catalogue (because I don’t want my monthly boards to spew ‘Live, Laugh, Love’ onto innocent bystanders).
In my attempt to do it all, I find that this thing over here (hi) isn’t getting the love I’d planned for it. Because love takes time and what I currently don’t have is time (or more likely: sacrificing my knitting hours feels like sacrilege). But, in my attempt, I of course wish to keep up the straight record. As I know from prevous experience: it’s not about what’s done but whether it’s done.
(Flashback to that time I thought I could duplicate Tavi Gevinson’s Style Rookie’s success by pairing blue tie-dye trousers with a bubblegum pink sweater holding a Hello Kitty shaped ball (no shoes) and sharing it on the Internet. Turns out it takes a bit more than ‘quirk’ to impress the fashion nation… but at least I’ve tried, right?).
So, for the time being you’re stuck with my late night musings (as I tend to frantically write these on Sunday evenings when finally the fog of counting stitches and trying to repair mistakes has vaperised; which happens to happen a lot on this project as it mainly consists out of cables which, for the uninitiated, basically means you’re count dracula. And I’ve got dyscalculia).
But I promise I’m working on writing something a bit more impressive than my (dis)ability to count to three.
If you’re interested: the project I’m working on is the Eurus sweater by Aegyo knit. It’s got quite a funny construction: starting in the round with the sleeve and then going flat for the body. But I love the way it’s turning out so far (all thanks to @alldayknit who I thankfully can count on *badum tsss* to repair all my silly mistakes).
