repeat...
there is a ton of repetition in my life.. in all lives i am thinking... make bed, sleep in it, repeat... fill shovel, throw snow, repeat... fill larder, empty it, repeat.. wear clothes, wash them, repeat... now, if i could only remember... think of something that makes you smile, repeat.....
in the days of january when minds turn to the "new slate syndrome", i think i will be happy with... get out of bed in the morning, do it just as you have been, repeat.
knitting is definitely an enjoyment of "repeats"... whether it is in the pattern itself (usually written as 'repeat from asterisk to end' and maybe 'repeat pattern between * to end')... or it's a repeat of making something because you like the way it turns out and must have more than one (pair of these socks, pair of these mitts, hat or scarf that would look better in that great hand painted yarn)... these repeats are not offensive to me as wash clothes, fold them, repeat....i find solace in repeating the stitches that it takes to create an object to wear... or to give to someone else to wear...yes i do enjoy those repeats...
i am currently repeating my socks for soldiers socks, i am on the heels of both socks currently (or concurrently if you like). I am currently knitting the edging on a shawl pattern by Brooklyn Tweed, aka Jared Flood, called Terra i believe in a yarn called Shelter... and btw the edging is two sets of large repeats on either "wing" of the shawl, consisting of approximately 14 smaller sets of 11 stitch repeats. i am also knitting another pair of the cabled fingerless mitts i made to learn how to cable without a cable needle (they are in a post further down with the link.. Mom's something i believe)... because the original ones are too long for my stubby little hands.. i like their length on my arms though, in the cold of january... the photo is of them unblocked and still curly and crinkly...
it's been a long time here, i guess i can safely say that even though i take time off from time to time, i am still writing, hitting 'publish post' and repeat.. i will keep my fingers crossed on that one, too...
