Today I knit a scarf. I looked up a Youtube video and I thought, ‘oh I can’t’ and ‘what if I mess up?’ and then I thought, ‘let’s just do it’. And I did. I’ll take a photo later and add it to this blog post, but there’s something reassuring about life when you think, I can’t, but then go ahead and do it.
Pats on the back for me. I want to shout on the roof top, “I did it! I didn’t think I could, but I did, now I am a finger scarf knitting addict and want to make everyone I know a scarf, MUHAHAHhaha”. I want people to look at my scarf and both think, wow that looks really professional and wonder with astonishment, did she make that? I want them to ask me, after saying they think it looks fabulous, and then for me to say yes, and their mouths to drop from astonishment.
I may be being a bit silly, but it’s how I feel.
I almost feel like this mini victory has been a victory over my human condition.
So here’s to me, who will celebrate tonight by trying to set up my new phone with a glass of Fruchtsecco…before I finger knit at least two more scarfs tomorrow.
(Notice I said at least)
