Empty Hands...Never!

After the frenzy of the previous week prepping for a new class to teach, I found myself reluctant to work on anything. 

So I didn’t. 

For two days. 

Seems like I always need a break from creating and crafting after an intense period. I’m slightly confused about why I need the break, but I do. I guess we all have to recharge from our activities by doing different activities.

I finished my tax paperwork, sent it off to the accountant and suddenly my hands felt empty. I was ready to start something.

I finished the second sleeve of my Central Park Hoodie. Blocking the pieces for sewing is the next step. I also have to find directions for the stand-up collar I want to finish the cardigan with.

But first I agreed to test-knit the Glenrowan Hat for my friend Cassie of Azalea Rosebud Fiberworks. I’ve not test-knit before. The hat is intermediate level and is challenging me with colorwork, which I’ve never done. I’m making it for my son, Ian. I hope the green color will pick up the green in his eyes.

I have been collecting supplies for a few felting projects for next week’s agenda. I need to make some samples for a program I’m presenting to the Bobbinwinders Handweaving Guild in a few weeks. I was honored to be asked to give a program. I’m going to give a talk with a make & take I call “Felting for Dummies.” It should be fun.
