I got a little restless recently and decided that I couldn't knit on my cardigan anymore. It's too hot to have it sitting in my lap and yes, I'm a wimp. Needing inspiration, I caught up on my knitting blogs. Martine at iMake posted a photo of her Trillian shawl. It looked simple and beautiful so I got the pattern. I dug up some stunning orangey-pink sock yarn from my stash and got started. I am a happy camper now.
I'm still in the midst of knitting my 6x9 rectangles for HAP as well. Easy and portable and for a great cause. All the rectangles become afghans for the wounded in military hospitals. How can I not do this? So it would appear that I'm occupied....
On a non-knitting note, I think I came to the realization that I might very well be on the wrong path. I don't think I started on the wrong path, it just somehow turned into the wrong path. Can I say wrong path anymore? Yes. While I really do love programming, I knew today that I can't do this forever. Part of me is pretty sure I knew this way before today, but I won't admit that.
Why is it so hard to get out of a rut? Whether it's a job, a bad habit, a bad person, we always seem to make excuses on why we should: stay at the job/in the relationship/continue doing the bad habits. It's really fucking hard to change. I've already noticed that I'm becoming anti-social, but I'm not terribly concerned. I think alone time is a good idea sometimes. I'm hoping to come out of this with some significant changes in mind and in action. Otherwise, we could just probably call this depression and not learn from it at all.
Back to my shawl.
