I haven’t written a real post in ages. I also haven’t been knitting lately. I started the sleeves of a Chic Knits cardigan (it’s been so long that I don’t even remember the name of the pattern) in, I think, February (?) and haven’t picked them up since. I used to go into the room where all my yarn and books are and just touch the yarn and dream up what I was going to knit with it. I used to flip through my pattern books and Interweave Knits magazine for fun, looking at the same pictures over and over again. I have the same pair of socks sitting on my end table that I started months ago. I knit them from the toe up and am at the cuffs. You’d think I could just knock it out and get them finished, but no. Apparently not.
I don’t know if the lack of knitting and the lack of posting here have anything in common or not. I’ve just been very inside my head lately and while I’ve been journaling, I haven’t written anything post-worthy. But what I have been doing has been making me happy, so that’s something. I got off Facebook about a month ago and since then, I just haven’t been online much at all. Except to order jewelry supplies, crystals, gemstones, etc.
I have been gardening and my lettuce, broccoli, onions, cauliflower, tomatoes, strawberries, jasmine, gardenias, herbs, peppermint, and lilies are all doing really well. There has been more sun here lately so I’ve been opening the windows and enjoying the fresh air, listening to podcasts and music while designing jewelry. I’ve been cooking our meals here at home trying to save money and reading a lot of Nora Roberts books (don’t judge me). And I’ve been processing a lot, thinking a lot about life stuff. I seem to be in a phase.
So I don’t know when I’ll start blogging regularly again, let alone when I’ll start knitting again. I’m not worried about it. It will all come around again.
I can’t think of anything more lovely than puttering in the garden, reading, cooking, and working on hobbies you’re enjoying! Sounds like the high life to me.
I’m glad to hear from you, though. No pressure on the blogging–I was just wondering what you were up to. Guess I do have your email address! Hee. Hugs!
Sounds lovely! I wouldn’t worry about it and enjoy the phase you’re in! In fact, can I join you?
Love you! We’ll talk soon!
I think it must be that time of year, because I’ve been feeling pretty much the same way.
Your garden sounds wonderful; I wish I had a green thumb and could grow all those veggies!
I too have been in the garden, it’s the balm that my soul needs at the moment. No judgement on the Nora Roberts, she one of my favorite authors.
Perhaps a “time out” from the routine of life? Nuttin’ wrong with that! The gardening sounds great as does the weather.
Sounds like everything you’re doing or not doing is working right for you. And Nora Roberts is a good author. Enjoy this tranquil time in your life, it’s been awhile!
