Thinking Out Loud…<\/h3>\n

First off, Jim and I are hale and hardy in Woodinville. \u00a0 We are following the healthcare dictates\u2014 washing hands to two verses of Happy Birthday (I recommend this! \u00a0It makes me happy to sing it out loud.), avoiding crowds, keeping well, and being careful.<\/p>\n

Gone undercover…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It is a good time to peruse my photos, and I will admit it, a darn good time to knit. \u00a0I will knit anywhere at any time.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There are no two ways about it, I have gone to the yarn side of things. I look forward to new patterns and textures, new yarns\u2014like a kid looks forward to ice cream.
\nJim took this picture of me recently as I was reorganizing my knitting stash…it looks like my studio blew up yarn. \u00a0Well, it kinda did. \u00a0I was in second heaven.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Knitting and yarn got me through the rough times with my arthritic hip and eventual surgery. \u00a0Focusing on what was in my hands, and what I was making, took my mind off my pain. \u00a0I told Jim, I didn\u2019t use opiates, I medicated with yarn…lots of yarn.<\/p>\n

And still, I go from project to project with such pleasure and curiosity. It adds a quiet time to my life, a good way to manage the stressful times we live in.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So does bird watching, water and sky watching. \u00a0Getting outside, feeling the cold, the wind, or spritzing rain feels invigorating, and makes me want to get back into cozy and knit. \u00a0Wool is my friend.<\/p>\n
