What a beautiful cardigan Katie and the sentiments behind it ring so true to me. I've been pushing myself to get a project off my needles and it's taken the enjoyment out of my knitting which focuses to heavily on relaxing myself away from all the stress of my day to day life. I have a few frantic weeks now until mid September so I think it will even more important than ever to lean into knitting and make sure it works for me. Can't wait to catch up on Patreon with the 'covid cardi'. Much love, Fran, Chewy and Trevor.
Thank you so much, Francis. I'm glad this resonated for you too. Something else I've noticed, is that when I do actually slow down and focus on the project at hand....it moves faster! I wish you lots of gentle crafting time to bolster you through your frantic weeks ahead.
So very sorry to hear that you were caught by that nasty Covid virus, Katie, but happy to hear you coped well with the enforced down time. Delightful looking cardigan and, Jack, of course is his usual handsome self! Keep yourself well!
Hello, I am sorry to read that you have caught this virus, which brings so much anxiety. You have knew how to give yourself comfort with this beautiful cardigan (the detail of armholes is very adorable). And I understand this unkindness when I am not in the top of my physical form and my mental form. It's like a disappointment, a failure in the face of the frantic pace of the world and of society, as if I was on the sidelines, as if I couldn't keep up. Your good words make us think about why we do these slow activities: certainly to be in an alternative flow, calming and just for yourself and to be yourself. And it's good, and restorative.
I was so taken with this cardigan that i went and found it and purchased so now to dye some yarn to use for it. How exciting! I'm often working on my own designs so it feels good to try something from someone elseAND to have some decorative features at the raglan sleeves. thank you, Katie.
