I have tried a new hobby to make life a little more interesting. Of all things...I have decided to learn how to knit! Such a maw-maw move, I know. I have made some progress. Only in actually casting on and making a few loops. The basics if you will. Pearl stitch and knit stitch. That's where I am. It was very frusterating at first but then I got the feel of it. I think my first project will be a scarf! Plus, I don't know many people (other than grannies) who know how to knit. It truly is relaxing.
It is hard for me to accomplish mastery in something. I am so fidgity, so absent minded, and somewhat ADD. I would be the bomb.com if I could just make myself do it a little every day. But that just ain't gonna happen. For a while I was bringing my needles and thread on my lunch break and practicing. That came to a screeching halt! I think I will start again. I need a goal - like make a scarf by my birthday. Something like that to keep me on top of it! That's what I am going to do. By June 16, I will have a scarf that I made if it is the last thing I do!
I do feel that learning how to do new things is a fun challenge. It keeps me motivated and gives me at least a little focus. I would encourage everyone to learn new things. After all, that is what life is all about.
