Since finishing graduate school, I've been struggling with establishing a personal life routine. For the past three years my time was spent between full-time work and school (and the hospital ... being there for my mom). Now that I have so much free time on my hand, I am doing practically nothing. I just sort of got comfortable and sat there .... basically hanging on to my peace. Sometimes I would be knitting and once, I even worked on a quilting UFO. I became comfortable ... much too comfortable. Something needed to be done .... comfort does not lead to growth.
With the start of the new year, I wanted to establish a routine that would not only allow me to grow, but to feel a sense of accomplishment. I've now make it a point to read at least one (1) our a day. It is non negotiable. I love to read and have lots of books waiting for me to finish.
On the knitting front, I have been trying to use yarn that is in my stash. It was never my intention to have a yarn stash but somehow it just sort of happened. I knitted a head band ... the pattern is called Hiedra headband by Fiber Tales (Laerke) ... I love her patterns. I used Sonder Yarn Co, Sunday Morning 4-ply in the colour Hydrate, held double.
I like the way the pattern designer puts an added touch to the work. It's an easy pattern to follow and great for left over yarn.
Thanks for stopping by. Cheers!
