Knitting Fever

Posted on by

I don’t know what’s ‘wrong’ with me but I have been having a serious knitting fever for days now… I’ve had this particular design in my head of a patchwork cardigan coat with a nice large hoodie so I went to a local shop and bought all sorts of black and grey shades of yarn *so cheap!* and dug through drawers to look for remnant yarn that has been lying there for ages waiting for me to use for my cardigan. It’s gonna look so cool!

Every evening I watch the same show on T.V. and perhaps a movie if anything good is on, but I always feel like it’s a waste of time somehow to just sit there: I know it must sound insane but I feel I could make myself useful. So while I was watching last week, the urge to do so became stronger and the next day I got out and bought all sorts of different yarn to turn into a super dooper nice and warm patchwork cardigan coat :)

It’s extremely relaxing to do: it almost gets me into this meditational state. I’m eager to finish the cardigan so I can wear it asap now that the temperature outside seems about right *hehe* and the cold weather has come to visit… In the meantime when I can control the fever I’m also working on a presentation website: a design for a potential client…

Turmoil and Dust

Posted on by

I’m back but I’m not quite here yet… I’m in hiding mode since everything is still total chaos and I’m trying to dig through too many emails and contact close ones. In the meantime I deal with bureaucracy and I try to avoid contacting clients; just postponing for a few more days so I can start designing again next week.

Bruised my left middle finger bumping into a cupboard three times in a row yesterday while carrying heavy boxes… *yes yes… I know what you’re about to say* so typing is literally a bit of a pain… which is a good excuse *hehe* To Wen: thanks so much for your wonderful surprise gift it was a sunny moment during cloudy days… You’re a gem!

I was invited by a reader of my blog to submit some of my artwork to have it printed on laptop sleeves for an online shop in Malaysia. I’m flattered but I won’t be able to design something soon, perhaps later though… I’ll keep the option open because I can’t commit to anything at the moment there’s too much to sort first.

I’ve written some posts while being offline, had to deal with the moments and with lots of emotional stuff, hence my absence: I’m not quite in writing mood just yet. There’s some turmoil going on that needs to be dealt with. So I’m waiting for the dust to settle *whenever that will be* and enjoy the beautiful weather in the meantime…

Hope you too!
