too fast.
things are moving too fast.
if you could see me from where you are, you’d have no idea what i’m going on about.
it’s not speed as in too much to do or too much waiting to be done,
it’s just feeling thinking that’s pulling me in too many directions
to focus on just one.
doesn’t help that it’s raining heavily,
that cold, damp kind of fall rain
that gets in your bones and makes it hard to get warm.
here’s my temporary solution:
i’m knitting it intentionally, slowly.
changed to bamboo needles to force the slow down a bit more.
i can feel it beginning to work, my head beginning to calm.
just a few more hours of this
(yes, i said hours)
and i think things will center back at about normal.
mental crisis diverted.
That yarn looks amazing! So soft and warm looking. I turn to something mindless but beautiful, like a self striping sock yarn, knitting round and round without thinking, and seeing the colours and patterns change. Anything that I don’t have to think about much to knit helps me. I go into “zen mode” as I think of it.
