As an allied health student, reflection and discussion of ones feeling is becoming more and more of a natural process. However putting pen to paper about my professional practice still seems slightly like work!
Ever the seeker of distractions, the idea behind this blog is that if I can keep a habit of reflecting on something that is fun, hopefully this will aid my academic and personal development too! It's a fun theory and I am going to run with it!!!
I learned to knit at the tender age of seven and was taught by my nana. Nana was an avid consumer of Jean Greenhouse knitted toy patterns and kept my siblings and I in a healthy supply of knitted companions, such as scarecrows, animals, clowns and jelly bean babies.
However a new world has been unveiled, blogs and podcasts such as electric sheep, a playful day and yarngasm have opened my eyes to the beauty of natural fibres and the hazards of an ever expanding stash. Ravelry had shown me the wonders of Jared Flood and Kate Davis. Yarns and patterns are consuming all waking thoughts.
And so I have several recent small creations to be added to my ravelry projects, photos to be taken and uploaded. I have a ravelry queue of something like 60 projects and counting... Daily crafty blogs to inspire me and a much awaited parcel from Superknits held up in the royal mail system.
All I can hope is that my new yarn arrives soon as I have a week of commuting to London that is begging to be filled with a new adventurous knit. All that remains is honing the shawls in my ravelry queue down to the favourite!!!
Top contender this evening is Jared Floods Juneberry ;
or maybe it is Madeline Tosh's Mara
