An Update for You!

I have been shirking on my sewing duties, but I have been buried in knitting attempts (and flash games).  I have just successfully finished knitting my first sock.  This is a very exciting day for me because I have followed through on a goal.  I think for anything, the best thing is to find your own way of doing things, otherwise you're going to be smashing your head into a wall when there's an open door right next to you.

I started trying to knit socks on double pointed needles.  My husband compared this to wrestling with an octopus.  I compared it to the fiery embrace if the underworld.  So there it sat in all its tenataclicious glory.  Untouched.

Then I found the Magic Loop method of small-diameter knitting.  I became happy.  I was able to knit socks without anger.  The world was filled with rainbows and dolphins.

So now I have one sock.

I guess I should go make another one to go with it so I don't look like I can't dress myself.

So a reiteration of the moral of today's story: find what works best for you (in knitting and in life).  Don't give up just because the 'tried and true' method doesn't work for you.  Find whatever it takes to make your dreams come true.  Because they can!

Love,
Carolyn

P.S. One of my favorite quotes for you:

You are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it come true. You may have to work for it, however.
