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.

Wow - that is so sweet! I'm thankful for a great friendship with you now! And I like marigolds--so hearty, so vibrant and determined. Love you!
ReplyDeleteAnother cool picture Karen! I still haven't seen the marigold light -- I guess 'cause I'm not a big yellow person. Which makes me wonder if I've lost my marbles with our new kitchen paint color. Maybe I need to put marigolds in there so I'll like it better!
ReplyDeleteI've never thought much of marigolds either--until I bought a bunch this summer at the tailgate market. And they went bananas in my yard! Yellows and golds and tall, lovely oranges!
ReplyDeleteThey're already on my list for next year.
