this past week there was, next week there will be
It’s Friday again. What the hell, it was just Wednesday!
…grumble grumble grumble…days of the week…grumble grumble…
I loved Joan’s comment from last week about planning for the coming week on Friday, instead of over the weekend, or on Monday morning.
And the bit about “being at peace with the past week.” Adore!
So, this past week there was:
- a long post about half circles.
- the pattern for Lapdiarius is now available here, and on Ravelry!
- Shawl Geometry II went back to K for more edits.
- I’m now in the middle of the bind off for this shawl. Squee!
- museum visit.
- work-ey things.
- started a draft for a book about mutant shawl shapes.
- blocked, photographed and mailed the grey shawl.
Next week there will be:
- the end of the month (goodbye July, hello August)
- more work-ey things.
- a post about crescents
- and the conclusion for the Shawl Geometry blog series (wow)
- getting notes back from K on Shawl Geometry II(?)
- some swatching and more writing about mutant shawl shapes.
- swatching the post for a week from Monday.
- I’ll need a new knitting project.
Huh. That was pretty cool, and rather insightful. Thanks Joan!
I’m giving myself permission to: tweek it, try something new, or keep it exactly the same, for next week.
I’m looking for some sort of (non sucky) Friday ‘ritual.’
I’d love to hear any thoughts or ideas, your Friday ‘rituals’ if you have them. You’re totally welcome to look at your week, past or future, here (or on your own.)
But either way I’d rather not have shoulds. ie. “you should…”
I see you Friday.
Hello Friday. I see you.
And I’ve knit a whole round since Wednesday.
Which, when each round is 1000+ stitches, isn’t as measly as it feels to say (well, type.)
I’m still looking for some sort of (non sucky) Friday “ritual.”
I’d love to hear any thoughts or ideas.
But I’d rather not have shoulds. ie. “you should…”
Oh! Hello hello Friday.
Hello, hello, Friday. You are mighty sneaky.
It’s been how many weeks of missed FO Fridays? Fridays. They are sneaky, sneaky. So I’m looking for a new way to notice and mark Fridays.
I really like the idea of FO Friday, but it’s not quite sitting right anymore. It feels forced and awkward.
I just don’t work on projects that can be finished in a week. Then I don’t have an FO to show one Friday, so I take that Friday off, and then I feel a little bad. Then one Friday becomes a string of Fridays, and I feel guilty. ick
THEN when I do finish something, I want to show you! And I don’t want to wait till the next Friday. But I feel like I should. More guilt. more ick
I still want to talk about and show you finished objects. And I absolutely will! (Because I love it.) Just not necessarily on a Friday, and most definitely not every Friday.
So I’m looking for a new way of acknowledging Fridays.
Qualities I want in this new marking of Friday:
ease, simplicity, elegance, spaciousness, flexibility.
A combination-type-thing of Havi’s Friday Chickening, Tara’s Adventures, WIP Wednesdays/FO Fridays, and me.
With some elegant simplicity please.
I’m not sure what form this new “noticing Friday” could take. Or what exactly it’ll look like.
But I’m open to ideas. And I’m willing to play and adjust until it feels right. Comfortable.
The Comments:
I’d love to hear thoughts, ideas, stories, about marking time, or noticing time.
I’d rather not have “shoulds.”
