I realized tonight that my energy and brain power can only do so much. My limits are reached by simple daily life: driving and working, chasing a brilliant and very handsome ball of energy who is nearly two years old, and making sure I have clean underwear. I simply have very little head room for anything else, and unfortunately that anything else extends to my knitting. I have lately attempted to learn new skills and work on adventurous projects, and while this philosophy has been very fruitful in the past, at the moment it falls flat. Like, I don't even want to look at those projects, much less work on them.
The only projects I'm interested in doing right now are small ones that require absolutely no thought. Sigh...
I like them, small thoughtless projects. They're very relaxing to me at the moment.
I started a lovely little hat for my boy. Very simple and cute. He has an adorable hat that his grandma made for him, which he wears all of the time, like even in the bath all of the time, but it's going to get very cold and he needs choices. That's the beauty of being able to knit. Choices.

The other day, I was talking with "mom friend" of mine. We realized that everyone we know who is doing amazing-cool things in life has gotten ALL of their children past the age of three. Don't worry Katie, amazing-cool things will return!
I agree it's good to have options, but I keep wanting to selfishly make my green sweater, so your lovely niece will probably be wearing her store bought hat this winter.
Love ya!
