2010 Goals: Knitting Projects

Happy 2010 everyone!
I know it's been since, what, March? that I've last posted? It's been an interesting last six or so months. I took a break from school to figure out if I was going to stay enrolled or not, started going to see a therapist to help me understand why I had been drinking too much and obsessing over food and worrying over everything in my life. Georgia, my therapist, tells me I am a perfectionist and I need to focus on just a few goals at a time. She's right. It amuses me, I have to admit, because I've always known I'm a perfectionist.
So, I have renewed my love of knitting and dug out some really cool, pretty cotton yarns from my workroom desk. Even dug out some knitting books that I hadn't looked at in a long time. I've picked out a cool pattern for a felted scarf and asked mom to show me how to work some of the stitches. She can't do as much knitting anymore because of her hands, it hurts her hands too much, but she is going to show me how to do it. I'm really excited about it. Just looking forward to spending time with my wonderful mother. She is a calming influence in my life. Her and my daddy and my husband. Mom represents safety and peace and love. I'm looking forward to sitting with her showing me how to get started on these projects.

That's one of my 2010 Goals: Knitting projects. Stay tuned for more posts on my other goals I have.
