Carry On!

I love Tim Gunn, and I'm hopelessly addicted to Project Runway, as I know many others are. My favorite thing about Tim is how he so insanely tactful in his critiques - he lets the designers know if they are straying without making it seem insulting or mean. I need more skills in that arena. But of course my most favorite thing is his catch phrase: "Carry On!" It is a good personal mantra, and is a much more cheerful sounding version of one that has gotten me though other hard times: "The only way out is through".

So here I go Carrying On* through a few weeks of way too much stuff going on (literally minutes after I wrote that post last Friday, I hopped in the car to run some errands only to discover power steering was gone. We're down to one vehicle while waiting on parts).

As for knitting, here is one of my vacation FO's, which took a year on the needles, but man they came out pretty, so the wait is worth it. The yarn is Sereknity Sock in "Pumpkin Patch" and I guess they may have been waiting their turn to get finished so they could match the leaves. Pattern is Mad Color Weave and all the details are Raveled here.




*Please note that I am keenly aware that all the stuff on my plate these last few weeks is the result of abundant privilege and are not "real" problems by any stretch. I am simply the type who gets overwhelmed when I don't have much downtime, and purging here helps me to get my head straight.
