"He who makes great demands upon himself
is naturally inclined to make great demands upon others."
Andre Gide
I am still here...I am...
making no demands upon myself...or others...

Thank you for waiting...
It is summer...everything moves a little slower...
days are longer...
naturally...
Oceanside Organic cotton color(#2)...Drift..
a pale,pale ocean green...naturally
Match it with the rolled neck jersey from
this book ...
and one special little girl will be very happy...

That is if I can stay focused...
and keep working...
find my natural rhythm again...

But I am making no demands...
I am enjoying myself...naturally..
and you should..as well...
It's summer...

Such a lovely sentiment! I tend to put far too many demands on myself - it's good to be reminded not to all the time.
Oh, this post soothed me so. Between the beautiful colors and photos and the notion that we should not put so much pressure on ourselves. I love it! Thank you for reminding me that it doesn't all need to be done in a day.
Yes! Summer should be for relaxing!
So perfect and wisely said...the feeling is mutual too.
Enjoy every little bit of summer, make happy memories and do what comes naturally!

It's only natural to take it easy during Summer ~ so glad you are enjoying a respite.
Gorgeous photos ~ makes me want to order that yarn and knit al la natural - LOL
Both projects I'm working on right now are pale, pale green and in cotton. Can't wait to see this all completed!
Beautiful photos and such perfect yarn for summer. I love a slower feeling summer myself...trying to not make as many demands of myself...well, except in the running department. Living in Canada means the best running happens in the summer :)
love these images....encourages me to take up knitting again.
Thats so much what summer should be, you put it perfectly! I love the Jo Sharp patterns and the yarn you are using looks nice.
A beautiful quote - and lovely photos of course
