I’ve been busy knitting, as well. When I first thought of publishing some of my designs on Ravelry, I had a conversation with myself that went something like this:
‘But if I become a Ravelry designer, does that mean that I can never knit from a pattern anymore? In that case, I’d rather not.’ ‘Don’t be silly. Of course you can continue knitting from patterns!’ ‘Oh, that’s a relief! Because, you know, there are so many beautiful designs around. And it’s just so nice when someone else does all the thinking, swatching and maths for you.’
At the moment, I’m knitting from this booklet – Bloom at Rowan:
Thank you, Marijke. The little drops add up, and that gives me hope. ?
It’s something to keep in mind when we’re feeling powerless.
Thank you for those quotes, Marijke. Just reading them makes a difference.
I’m glad to hear that. Writing this post, I thought what helps me may help others too.
Lovely baby things! And yes. Hope, what a wonderful thing, a necessary thing. May all the hopes you have for that new little one spread throughout the world.
Thank you for your thoughtful message.
