Here it is. The exhaustive list of how to find your way by landing on something so ideal for you to do that no one can tear you away from it. For me, this week, The Thing is freeform knitting. This list explains why I love it:
- it's all about relationships
- each piece can be a small "to go" bag with a project for the spaces in-between in life
- constant variety and change are good for both the mind and body
- it is a way to do product research and development with a wider variety of fibers and tools
- swatches, false starts, attempts at new stitches and yarns all become part of the design
- eliminate waste: remnants combine to produce a useful end result
- there is no "are we there yet?" because the Journey at long last really is the destination
- it's painting -- with yarn!
- it's knitting and crocheting, weaving and designing
- I can use my other arts with it (silver clay formed into buttons...)
