The weather in the UK has been typical for a Bank Holiday weekend. Cold, wet and dark. It is pretty miserable to say the least. However, being indoors has allowed me to crack on with on-going projects. When I say on-going, I mean ones that are taking longer than they should. I don't really know why this is anything new. It happens in life. I have all these ideas and inspired ideas and then I come home from work...drained, lifeless and unmotivated. Ugh. I really need to kick that habit.
However, I've had a few days this week where I've been knitting while watching telly on a night and cracking on with my projects. So work is actually progressing and MOVING forward. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and I feel that inner peace again. Yes, yes and yes. I need that. I'm tired of feeling like its just work and home and just that blah feeling from life. That feeling where you are not feeling content within yourself. Just restless and unsettled...but nothing you can put your finger on. I hate those times.
So here is one nearly completed side of my cardigan. I'm being ambitious (for me) and knitting a lace border. This side has NO mistakes...unlike the first side which has one or two and I'm seriously thinking about unpicking it back to those mistakes now. Before I was going to leave it...but well...it will bug me if I leave them now. So, for your viewing pleasure:
This is not normally a colour I'd normally wear but I'm trying to step outside my "comfort zone" with regards to colour. I think for the past few years, I have to conform to a dress code at work and my sense of style went completely out of the window. I can't even begin to tell you how sick I am of my work wardrobe. Its drab and makes me feel older than I am. Enough of that crap. So what if I'm getting older, we all are. I can still have my sense of style and individuality. Clothes can be beautiful and make you feel good about yourself. I don't have to resign myself to cream blouses and black trousers for work, do I? I hope not...
