YARN ALONG

"So, I've been thinking about this whole
being happy thing, and I feel like people
get lost when they think of happiness as
a destination....We're always thinking that
someday we'll be happy; we'll get that car
or that job or that person in our lives that'll
fix everything. But happiness is a mood,
and it's a condition, not a destination. It's
like being tired or hungry, it's not permanent.
It comes and goes, and that's okay. And
I feel like if people thought of it that way,
they'd find happiness more often."

After more than two years I finally
bound off my blanket. I didn't do
another repeat of the remaining
chart and I didn't do the edging
as written in the pattern, instead
I did a round of knit stiches, then
one of purl, then bound off, Just
the thought of spending anymore
time knitting this blanket made me
sad, and I don't ever want knitting
to feel like that so it was time to
finish this project. It still needs
the ends woven in and a good
blocking, but I think it will make
a nice family room throw and I
am content with it.

I'm ever so slowing working on
my sock and I am very excited to
cast on a new project. I am using
one of my favorite yarns, meadow,
and am going up a needle size to
meet gauge.

Reading is only happening late
at night and then only about half
a dozen pages before my eyes are
too heavy to stay open; it has nothing
to do with the story, life has just
been busy.

Sock update::
Socks for the Homeless continue
to arrive daily, you guys are amazing!
Thank you.

A WEEK IN MARCH

We all need empty hours in our
lives or we will have no time to
create or dream. 

~Robert Coles

I am still trying to get back
on track with the time change,
just leave it one way or the
other, please.
 I am knitting a basket full
of cotton dishcloths and
wash cloths so they will
be handy when I need them.
 The mail brought things I
knew were coming or had
ordered,
 and wonderful surprises from
a dear friend. Look, knitting
needle ear rings! I love them.
My new afternoon snack, a smoothie
of pineapple, orange juice, and
coconut milk sprinkled with
chia seeds, perfect on a warm
afternoon.
I added maca powder to
my morning juice and am
waiting to see if all the hype
is true.
I spotted the first blackberry
blossoms. With all the rain
we have had I am hoping this
year we will have a good
blackberry crop.
I am giving myself time this weekend
to relax, to enjoy the day, to watch
the sunset/ sunrise, to do nothing.
I hope your weekend unfolds the
way you wish.

Love,
Tracey
