Knitting for Comfort 

I’ve been finding a lot of comfort in my knitting this week. I often knit to wind down or relax from a busy day, but this week I’ve been getting lost in the repetitive knits and purls. Particularly in knitting these rainbow socks for my son. Melissa of the Spicy Homemaker podcast is hosting a Comfort Knit KAL in her Ravelry group and this certainly fit the bill. And to add to the comfort was his genuine excitement at their completion. “Yes, yes, YES! Woohoo!” He’s worn them everyday since.

It’s been nearly a year since I sat down to write a blog post. I’ve thought about it, I really have. Several times in fact, but I simply never did it. It’s not that I haven’t wanted to. I’ve been keeping myself very busy with family, work and home. But isn’t that what this all about?

In my time away I’ve been able to think on what I really want for, and from, this blog...my little spot on the Internet. Honestly, not much has changed since my first blog post.

Our days are so filled with doing and making and creating. Even when we don’t realize it. My days can feel like whirlwinds sometimes and others like I’ve just whiled away my time. I want this to be a place for me to stop to share what I’ve been doing and making. A place to chat about what I’m crafting, watching, eating and reading. And I hope that it will be a place where you will share the same. I’d love to know what you are doing.

I have new ideas, new plans and new things to try. I find new inspirations everyday. I hope to share what inspires me and maybe that will inspire you too.

I hope you’ll join me in this new year of doing! Speak soon.
