I am about to go on vacation. I am taking two weeks off from teaching knitting and one week off from taking care of Miss Claire and am going to Utah for a few days to visit Mom.
Before that time comes I have decided to try and take two weeks off from actually knitting.
Why would I do such a thing?
Part of it is the heat, but mostly, I need a break before I have to get fall classes figured out and knit up the samples for the classes. Just thinking about it makes me want to go and hide.
So I thought that" Not knitting" and taking a break from all things fiber for a couple of weeks would rejuvenate me.
Progress Report:
~I am enjoying the new magazines as they land in my mailbox but not researching them or looking for yarns that I would like to knit my favs in.
~I have not been on Webs (and they have a sale going on) and have clicked off all emails that have to do with yarn.
Sounds like I am doing well, right? HaHa
~I am knitting a sock.
Not being able to survive "No Knitting" made me realize that I have never gone any length of time without creating something with my hands. Before knitting there was beading, before beading there was quilting, before quilting there was cross stitch and before cross stitch there was knitting. I have to be creating something regularly. I have creating fiber kinds of things or creating music since around 6th grade. That would be forever!
I did spend a Sat. a couple weeks ago on my front porch reading a book which was quite lovely. I don't have a book in the house right now that has me hooked (note: need to go to the library).
As for No knitting,
Not going to happen.
And will finish my Art Deco Beaded Scarf which is 80% done.
And that, in my world, is considered Not Knitting. The best I can do.
Now if I could only get myself to feel the same about exercise!
