Perfect World
Wasn't this week a rollercoaster with what the weather would be! We has sun, we had warm, we had cold we had a bit of a dusting of snow. I think Mother Nature is feeling all the feels this week. It doesn't matter to me, each day we are one day closer to warmer days. I'll take the occasional blast of snow in stride.
There's been lots of journaling as always. I find it soothing and therapeutic. So that is where I need to be right now in this moment.
For April I am suspending my 'haiku a day' challenge. I might be haiku-ed out with thinking up my poems. I did that challenge both for February and March. I'm switching back to sketching daily with a sketching prompt from Doodlewash, they are great for some quick sketching ideas. This is supposed to be fun so my perfectionism is being set aside.
If we were living in a perfect knitting world, I would be telling you all about how I finished the sweater. Well, I have 10 rows to go and then it will be reality. I'm confident that tonight I'll be putting away needles and markers and making room in my knitting bag.
Frodo definitely knows it's springtime. He wants in, he wants out. He cannot make up his mind and it drives me nuts. I love him. To be honest, I don't think he knows what he wants either.
I hope you have a wonderful holiday this weekend if you celebrate Easter.
Beautiful sweater! I’m sure you’re ready to finish it now with only 10 rows to go. Sometimes the “homestretch”takes the longest to finish. Your sketches are lovely and the challenge looks like fun. Doodlewash does have some great ideas. Easter blessings to you and your family.
ReplyDeleteThe sweater is so close! Have a great Easter weekend Karen. :)
ReplyDeleteThat sweater is going to be so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI admire your perseverance with journaling. I wish I could do it, but even for something personal like that, I suffer from perfectionism... (and also the fear that someone will find my notebook). Wishing you a great weekend!
I look forward to seeing what shows up next in your knitting bag.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see your finished sweater! It's chilly enough here that it looks like you might get a chance to wear it. Happy Easter, Karen!
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter! If your sweater is finished, I imagine you might be wearing it. It is CHILLY!!! I am knitting, stitching and reading and loving it all!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous sweater. We also had this warm days and freezing cold temperatures with snow flurries this week. Crazy!
ReplyDeleteI love that sweater so much! Happy Easter, Karen! 🐣
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter. And what will be next in that knitting bag?
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter. Your sweater is going to be fantastic. You get it done when you get it done. ENJOY this time. Frodo....and Holly, hope the bunny comes to you.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter Karen! ... and I sure hope to see a finished sweater soon :-)
ReplyDeleteI wish we were neighbors. I'd love to be able to dog sit Frodo. I'm still sorely lacking in the bullet journal department.
ReplyDeleteIt was just such a gorgeous Sunday (I braved the wilds and went to our Easter service in the park and it just might have been the best Easter service I have ever been too!)
ReplyDeleteHere is to a swift 10 rows on that sweater! :)
Hi Karen,
ReplyDeleteKudos to you for finishing a sweater right on the cusp of spring...
~Have a lovely day!
