"... if you cross a line and nothing happens,
the line loses meaning....
You keep drawing a line farther and farther away,
crossing it every time....
You'd be surprised at how easy it is ....
To lose yourself--to get lost.
Or maybe you wouldn't be surprised.
Maybe some of you already know.
To those people, I can only say: I'm sorry."
— Lauren Oliver (Before I Fall)
there are lots of things...
I have learned along the way..
I had it written down differently..
the way the lines should cross...
trying to replicate some old hand smocking I had once done...
I kept crossing lines...
farther and farther I went...
but they kept losing meaning..
so..rather than giving up..
and feeling I had lost my way...
I decided to look at it..
from a different perspective..
cross the lines...
and reconnect...
and I found..
that this way...
not crossing so many lines..
and drawing them in..gave a form..
and the form...
had meaning...
I liked this shape...
that was what I had learned...
but you probably are not surprised~
and now it seems...
yet another pattern must be written..
but you knew this {smiles}

Very clever missus.
Love the smocking,they look buttery soft T. Neat that you showed us your notes.
...so I decided to just let it go...frustrated souls running to overpass one another while pretending friendships...I choose peace and here I always find it.
What brilliant words you chose again to so wisely share...
accompanying your always inpiring pictures...
I love forming shapes...
it probably relates to my having been a teacher for many years...
I like helping in forming personalities
...much like I currently do with forming spaces...
...but most of all I wish for my life to aquire a mostly needed form and structure, after so many changes the past 3 years...
I so wish for change & stability at the same time.
I see a teacher in you always....one I trust to follow.
Thank you for all that you are and share.
but yes, i did know.
smiles here, too.
:D
The fingerless gloves are so ummy. I can not wait for the pattern. I think I will knit these lovely's for myself to remind me of "crossing lines-" ox

and feeling I had lost my way...
I decided to look at it..
from a different perspective -
These are lines to live by...thank you so much for so often making me look at things from a different perspective xx
so many ways I can relate to them in my life, in my work, in my emotions.
beautiful 'new direction' this pattern has become.
beautifully put and photographed as usual too... i nearly feel the softness of them
Love that cream softness xox
hugs
