a simple yarn

Confession:  I have just committed an act of utmost heresy against all periodical lovers.

I kind of hate to say this in public and am eternally thankful for the measure of anonymity that blogging affords me because…..(hesitation)…..I ripped apart all of my Vogue and Interweave knitting magazines. (gasp)

Well, you see, I pile up the magazines thinking that at some point, when I need inspiration, I will pull them out, pore over them, calmly select a lovely pattern and begin a new project. It. Never. Happens.

Instead, having stepped over them so often it’s become an auto-response, I forget about the pile, they are invisible to me.

So, in the quest for simplification, I have removed the pages that appeal to me now and have put them into an ‘inspiration notebook,’ so to speak. I may have the occasional wish-I-had-kept-that-one regret, but odds are that I’ll never remember the one-that-got-away.

But, the title says ‘Heresies.’ Plural. So what’s the other one? Oh, it’s the 400-gram-ball-of-mostly-acrylic-yarn-I-bought-soon-to-be-passed-along-for-the-Electric-Picnic.
