As I sit bundled in layers I'm dreaming of my spring garden. I was just perusing the garden blogs I read which I haven't done in awhile. I have been consumed with knitting this year, if you couldn't tell, and did not get the most out of my yard. But that's okay. Different years have different priorities. As I was strolling through old posts on said blogs, I stumbled across this post. To clarify, the picture in the post is mine but the shed is not; it's my mother-in-law's. You can read about my shed if you follow the link. Despite the confusion, and the fact that I found it eight months later, I'm thrilled to be mentioned on someone else's blog!
I haven't posted a lot of knitting on here in the last few years. Not much to say about it but I still knit. I knit because I love to create. I knit because I love sweaters. I knit because I grew up with a mom who is artistic beyond the acknowledgement she receives, and it's in my blood to do something creative. I knit because I love the good things God grows, like sheep and wool and muskox and cotton. I knit because I love colors. I knit because my boys wear what I knit. I knit because I like the rhythm. I knit because it has a beginning and an end, and they are achievable. I knit because when my hands are busy, my mouth slows down, and it gives my brain a chance to make better decisions. I knit because I'm really, really good at it, and it's one of the few things that others acknowledge, and we all need that. I knit because I love to knit. I'm working on a colorful shawl in alpaca.
How fun to be featured! that shed is adorable. And what better time to remember it than when it fah-reezing outside!!!
