I have been thinking lately about change...and what it takes to bring about change
...and those thoughts have led me down side roads of having courage...and being adventurous.
...and off to the seemingly non sequitur of knitting. (Fair warning: most of my thoughts come back around to knitting in some way or fashion.)
Merriam-Webster defines “adventurous” as “not afraid to do new and dangerous or exciting things” “disposed to seek adventure or to cope with the new and unknown” “being innovative”.
When it comes to knitting …is this you? Are you adventurous? Do you love a good
challenge?
Ok, I totally understand that no one can be intrepid on
every project. There has got to be some mindless knitting. Right? Some soothing
projects where you don’t have to think too much…
…but what about those times when you are sick of the
mindless projects? When you are just kinda bored with the same ol’ same ol’? When
you want to use your brain?
What is your challenge of choice? Do you move from simple
scarves and hats to sweaters? Or do you go for patterns with different
techniques…
cables…
lace…
or my passion, stranded work?
Whatever adventure you choose…completing the challenge can
be rewarding. That sweet feeling of triumph at knowing you have stretched your
abilities and created something new… or different than what was previously on
your needles.
Like all triumphs, it’s kinda of addictive…which is why you
will venture out again, my friend. You know you will.
It’s a good thing…being an adventurous knitter.
