uncomplete~

My mind feels itself set in motion. Wandering ,searching, unable to settle on a single thought, forcing me to search for many outlets... this gilet is uncomplete... made with two strands of contrasting yarn a Shibui worsted merino and Claudia's hand dyed sock named the same-INK...but slightly different. The sock yarn has some degree of variation...much like a pen running out of ...ink... but I like that... an unevenness... an imperfectness... creating some depth and character.

and Lena

well, it is uncompleted as well. I must confess the ribbing is a drone...

so that is why I started the French cardi...an effortless garter stitch...

allowing my mind be free to do its wanderings. struggling between dream and reality

one of these two will seize me...

forcing me to settle and finish... to be whole again.

to have completed.

a sweeter week

Life can be untidy,

and a little less bright at times.

Fraught with mixed messages, I delved into my dark side.

But the darkness can be stimulating, and

Victory does not seem as appealing

sometimes you need something to dull the sting of a sorry triumph.

Something pure

something to help you realise

"the most sublime act is to set another before you" William Blake( 1757-1827) England

so...

that is my course

and along the way I will share some sweetness

and even a little tang and next week I shall knit.

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy sweet week.

almost...

This is Cocoon in scree...remember?

It was almost Haven...

But I changed my mind. You do that,don't you?

Use your right to woman's prerogative?

I decided I wanted this instead.

It's Aimee... or, almost Aimee..

I made some modifications,

knit it in the round,

and changed the decreases to give the shoulder more shaping.

The yarn is soft and warm...the perfect shade of grey for me.

I feel all snugly,

like I'm in a cocoon,when I am wearing it. I almost went sledding..

got out the old Radio flyer...

but I changed my mind

that prerogative thing again, and decided to sew

or maybe I'll fuss with the amaryllis-

see if I can get it to stand up straight....or almost straight

Either way,

today is our anniversary

and I've spent almost all of my life

with the man I love...

hmmm...dinner out? or in??
