i might be on to something.
there might be something to it. all i know is that i've felt better the last 2 evenings afterwards. if only i'd done what i didn't do yesterday. we'll see.. hopefully next thursday it'll still be there to do.
how's that for a clue as to what's up in my life? eh?
oh. and i'm knitting my first hat. its coming together nicely. i really love the yarn i'm working with. oooh.. my taste for expensive yarn is going to do my pocketbook in. but i simply cannot work with that red hart crap, not after working with alpaca and pure wool. oh holy fuck no.
and t's shawl.. its coming along.. slowly.. cause i hate the yarn. its acrylic, i bought it cause she's little and it needs to be machine washable, and the texture and the colors i knew she'd like (she does). while i love the intentions of working on the project, the knitting itself is torture. okay, thats a lie. knitting isn't torture.. but its not nearly as nice as say, the alpaca wool.
i found some yarn made in india, recycled in tibet, in a catalog. i keep thinking about it. gonna have to get some. make something nice.. for someone special. the spirit in that yarn, well.. thats the reason to get it.
yes, knitting is spiritual, i don't give a flying fuck what my friend e says. anything that calms my mind and allows me to work with products of the earth, fuck yeah, its spiritual. not like a higher power spiritual, but more a meditation type spiritual. the mixture of the patience it takes, the working with the hands, the building of something, the calming of the mind. isn't that what spirituality is about? building, making, calming, creating.. isn't that what the higher power did, does? isn't that why we are all here? because of those things?
anyhow, i'm gonna have to get mom to take me to the lys in virginia, both places i'm going there.. i need the rest of my xmas present!
