Hello Friday
It’s Friday again. And again, I don’t know how that happened or where Thursday went. Oh well.
- a post about crescents
- the Conclusion of the Shawl Geometry blog series
- got Shawl Geometry II edits back.
- lots of spinning
- work-ey things
- lots of brainstorming, and therefore a wall of post-it-note ideas
- the end of the month (goodbye July, hello August)
- updated and cleaned up the pattern page. (go browse, get patterns)
Next week there will be:
- more work-ey things.
- a post color in shawls
- editing Shawl Geometry II
- more spinning
- I still need a new knitting project
- small updates to things.
I’m playing with a (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, be nice, and I’d rather not have shoulds. ie. “you should…”
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.

sometimes we need a reminder
This is for makers. It’s a reminder.
It’s something we all know.
But sometimes we forget.
The thing that makes an artist an artist
is the act of making art.
It’s not past art, and how great it was.
Or future art, and how great it will be.
It’s in progress art, and what you’re making,
now.
The thing that makes an artist an artist
isn’t the awards or accolades
(rightly deserved or not)
it’s the act of making art.
Part of us knows this.
But sometimes we need a reminder.
The act of making art, makes us an artist.
