And so…

It begins like a drawing does, or a knitting project. A drawn line. A cast on stitch. And then another. And another. And another until you reach a stopping point, not an end, but a good place to finish. And then you begin again. Each day is a beginning. Each year. Every decade. I am … Continue reading And so…

Let Go

I woke up this morning with these words in my head: "Sometimes we have to let go of the original plan in order to allow the newer, cooler design to come out."

Where I Sit…

You might enjoy meandering over to my drawing/art blog to read about an amaryllis that's been blooming above me on the piano. It certainly speaks of knitting too! Click Here to read it! Have an Artful Day!

Where I Sit…

From where I sit, here in my studio sunroom, an amaryllis blooms above me. It sits on the piano grinning broadly at me while I knit, draw, write. It has been there a while, maybe a month or more. For the longest time, an inch of green shoot sat nestled in the loam. I watched … Continue reading Where I Sit…
